Have W-XP home edition. Everytime I boot up, takes a long time to let me
have access to PC functions such as launching an app or opening Hard drive..
Found in Event Log that DHCP cannot get an IP address so after about
1.5mins, assigns its own IP. What normally booted up in 30 secs, now takes
2 mins plus.
PC is Ethernet connected to Linksys Router.
Also tried connecting it directly to DSL modem, same result.
Note: after 2 mins or so, I have full internet access at high speed.
Earthlink had me reset all TCP/IP connections using NETSH command.
Deleted Network Adaptor and had PC reinstall.
Also tried to assign my own IP address and DNS instead of automatic but
problem still exists.
When into Component Services, disabled DHCP, PC booted normally and faster
but then no internet connections.
Here's strange part, never had this problem until two weeks ago. Came out of
no where and now, even Earthlink Tech support said "no clue".
Any suggestions appreciated.
