re: booting Sunday, January 18, 2004 at 5:25 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by straytech (9 messages posted) sounds like your machine is trying to obtain an ip address and after timing out, finishes booting. if the ip address of your nic is 169.x.x.x, then this is the problem. try disabling it or setting a static ip like 10.0.0.1 Written in response to: booting (Kebo: Sunday, January 18, 2004 at 2:06 pm) There are presently no replies to this message.
