I wonder if what I am experiencing is normal. I have a windows 2000 server
that runs small websites, a mail server, and acts as a file server for my
small home network. It is configured as a domain controller and connected to
the Internet behind a Netgear Router/Hub and ADSL Modem. I don't experience
any problems when running this server but when I have to re-boot it for any
reason it seems to take an inordinate amount of time.
Here is what I see when I ask for a restart (approximate times):
Saving your settings 1:45
Windows is shutting down 2:45
Blank screen :10
BIOS stuff - very quick
Windows 2000 Server Family logo 1:15
Windows is starting up :20
Perparing network connections 1:30 + :15
Finally ready to login.
A total of about 9 minutes to shutdown and restart.
This seems like it is too long --
