I have Windows 2000 Server (SP3) and have set it up as the Domain Controller on our network and have Active Directory installed. It has 2 NICs in there, one is the cable modem which is shared for the rest of the network users and the other NIC is for the LAN. However, if for whatever reason I have to reboot, it takes an age (literally more than 10mins!) to get to the 'Press Alt+Ctrl+Del to login' it sort of hangs on preparing Network connections, but the bar across still goes as if its doing something
However if I unplug the modem, reboot its ready in about 2 mins. Anyone have any ideas as to how to either speed this up or something? Something I have missed and not set up properly?
Cheers.
