Hi
When i boot up my pc the screen goes black when it first boots up, and then
i can see writing saying Client Mac Addr followed by numbers, then DHCP
followed by numbers and a looks like a - and dots appearing on the screen,
when i press any key it gets out of whatever it was in, and my pc boots up
alot faster,i know i havnt explained that good, but i hope that theres a
computer buff out there who knows what im going on about,
Please help and thanks alot , take care
 
Does your system try to boot from LAN, first? You should be able to check
this setting in the BIOS.
 
Sounds like you have your startup options set to start from the network
first. Check your computer's user manual and/or the support Web site for
instructions on how to change the startup sequence to start from something
other than the network first and that should speed things up.
