How do you cut down the nic initialization time

I was having problems I bought a new ATI radeon and I thought it was given me problems, but it wasn't. I went and picked up boot analyzer and I did a logged startup. Looked at the boot analyzer and the video card was fine but it took me 40 sec for the nic driver to load and I was wondering is it a way cut the load time I'm not sure if it's a ODI or ndis complaint nic I haven't took the time to look but will do upon some more free time. I think it's a linksys 10/100 not sure of the modem. Any info will help, Thanks!!!
 
DHCP is a 5 packet exchange that should take only a few microseconds even at 10mbps. Check which protocols you have bound to the NIC and which clients you have bound. The more protocols that you bind, the longer it takes to bind them to the NIC. Simplify your networking. Make it useable with a little as possible. That will not only make the init time faster, it will also make communications a bit faster too. Windows (any ver) has a binding order that it follows and if your TCP/IP protocol is last, it will take the longest to activate.
 
I didnt know they had boot anylazer, cause my sisters amd k6300 takes a while to boot, figured it was just cause it was a slower computer and she has a few programs loading at startup. It would be nice to check it out.

Cowboy Behop, can you post a link where to get boot anylazer
thks

It's for windows 95/98 all you do is reboot your computer hold down the control key (F8 or F6 in 95 can't really remember)when it starts to boot the os to bring up the Windows start menu choose logged startup out of the options and once you boot up then run the program it gives you all of the drivers that loaded, and load times. Sorry I took so long, and this was for my home computer and I think it is DHCP because of my ISP DSL setup I'll have to check. Thanks guys!!!!!!

By the way that switch rocks!!!
