    Need help With Network settings for faster XP boot up

    Awhile back, I saw a thread here about changing a setting in the network. It was a change in the subnet mask, or something very similar that has a great advantage to speeding up the boot process for XP. WHat I can remember is that the numbers were 255.255.255.0 ( I think). I had to reformat and...

    CDRW reading data vs music cd's using XP

    TCP/IP help needed in XP Pro

    Insidious: It is not the DNS I want to change, I want to edit my DHCP (disable), as well as assign a subnet mask of 255.0.0.0. None of those options are available where you are referring to, and they used to be there, that is where my problem is. I can assign a DNS and an IP, but I have no need...

    TCP/IP help needed in XP Pro

    I am trying to disable my DHCP as well as assign an IP adress and subnet mask to speed up my XP boot-up. I have done this before, but now there is no option for me to assign those properties. I go to the properties for my TCP/IP protocol, and that option is just not there. I had it before, but...

    XP SlowBoot

    I remember a month ago or so, there were some replies to a post about some one having a problem with XP being extremely slow while booting up. I saw one or two replies about changing some of the network settings (I have DSL) to fix that. Well, I changed those, and it worked great. But I must...

    WinXP and Dual Modems

    I know this may be far fetched, as most of us have broadband, but one of my buddies does not have that capability. He is destined to use dial-up for a connection. My question is do any of you know how to configure dual modems in XP like we used to do before the advent of broadband? I used to use...
