re: Question about 'Things that slow down system bootup' Sunday, January 20, 2002 at 9:01 am Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by rick (7 messages posted) The new network card is "by default" trying to get a DHCP address. It is not able to obtain one so it will hang until it times out until windows gives it an Automatically assigned address in thw 168.x.x.x range. If TCPIP is not required ON THIS CARD, just remove the TCPIP binding to that card. Or assign it a proper TCPIP address in your range.
