Once I login into Vista, it takes a while to get an IP from my DHCP. I have a login script to map network drives so, without an IP I can't map those drives. The network icon in the system tray shows the LAN cable is disconnected but, after a few moments, it shows the network is connected and the globe icon shows. I even set my IP to static still Vista shows the network is disconnected but, then after a few moments Vista shows the network is connected. I'm wondering if anybody else has this problem. Any ideas?
