Windows XP idle time fix


Recommended Posts

This one is for people with an ethernet-card used for their internet connection (cable, xdsl). When winxp starts, the system stays idle for about 20-30 secs.

Fix:

*Go to the network connections screen

*Right click on the LAN-connection and choose properties

*Doubleclick on internet protocol (TCP/IP)

*In the top-section of the screen choose "use the following IP-adress" (or something along those lines, i'm using winxp dutch)

*Where is says IP-adress fill in 192.168.0.1 and for subnetmask fill in 255.255.255.0

*Click OK, close all windows, and restart, the problem should be fixed.

If I did that I wont have Internet anymore because the DHCP wont be assigned (unless you mean something else?)
