Windows XP login slowed to 10 minute wait

[Terry Blankenship]

I have spent 4 hours with Gateway and then Microsoft
support technicians. Gateway gave up and sent me to
microsoft. They decided that my 2Wire home portal was
the problem. This was because after powering it off and
then rebooting with the Home Portal unplugged, the
problem was resolved. SBC then sent a technician to my
home and says that it is the operating system. When I
tried to log on to Microsoft they said I had the maximum
number of support incidents and I would have to pay. Does
anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this problem?

Had the same problem last week,it's the 2 Wire home
portal couldn't even get the disc to run after deleteing
it.Talked to SBC support for hours they had me go in and
delete the portal from add/remove then delete the driver
for the ethernet card from device manager restart it auto
loaded the ethernet,loaded the home portal again,and it
works better now.Problem is it's having trouble
navigating thru the tpc/ip settings removing both and
reinstalling them took care of it for me.Before I got SP2
worked ok after I downloaded it it would take 4-5 minutes
(if it didn't show unable to connect.wouldn't get th ip
address.)Tell SBC if you can't fix it turn it off,they'll
help you fix it fast!Don't waste your money at
MicroSoft,not there problem,it's your connection.Delete
it and reload it ethernet card driver too.
