Vista startup is being delayed by about 50 seconds due to (I think) slow
startup of the Wiresless network connection (which otherwise works well).
The desktop/sidebar appears reasonably fast (about 45 seconds from BIOS),
but after the sidebar appears there is a 50 second delay with NO disk
activity. During this time, it appears the service WORKSTATION is trying to
load ("Starting.."). It finally starts after 50 seconds, and the rest of the
startup process finishes.
During this pause, the Network icon in System Tray (2 computers) has a red
X, then a yellow exclamation, and about a minute later the planet symbol
with a working internet connection. I suspect this slow wireless connection
is delaying the Workstation Service startup? Any ideas why the wifi takes so
long to connect during bootup? Any way to further debug to isolate problem?
System Setup:
-Vaio SZ6 Santa Rosa laptop with Intel 4965AGN (80211b/g/n)
-Vista Business 32 bit, local workgroup over LAN
-D-Link (DI624) router, dynamic DHCP, connected to cablemodem.
-No difference in delay using static IP assignment
-WPA/PSK security
-NIC not allowed to connect to "alternative SSID"
-Up to date Vista, Intel NIC drivers, router firmware.
