Azion Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Hey all,Since I've been using auto login my start up has been alot slower. It seems to hang on Restoring Network Connections. I'm not using DHCP and I've all the IP addresses & DNS servers setup. I've tried bootvis but it didn't make much of a difference. Can anyone sheld any light on this?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allen2 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 In XP on some systems you can login before having networking up. If you're in this case and using autologon, the restoration of network connections would obviously take a longer time.Here is the complete explanation: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?...kb;en-us;305293 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azion Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 I'm only using a workgroup setup, not a domain, so I'm guessing it doesn't need to login Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilemke Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 (edited) Have any network shares mapped to drive letters that automatically restore after reboot? Edited August 26, 2006 by bilemke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelOfCake Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 have you eventlog disabled by any chance? I remember having problems with a slow login with that disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allen2 Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 The solution in the MS knowledge base works even if you're in workgroup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1K Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Have any network shares mapped to drive letters that automatically restore after reboot?Yes I have 3 or 4This is the problem, restoring mapped drive connections. When hanged press ESC, and it should stop with restoring connections..This will not solve the problem, but you'll be sure that it's related to mapped drive connections..

You might have a slow machine you are connecting too.. Otherwise, if you are logging in with a username and password (beyond guest/anonymous access), try setting up an account on the remote machine with the same username and password as the local machine logs in as.. This way you can just use one set of credentials.. This has helped in the past sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
