Its possible to disable annoying post message on Intel NIC?

[ruthan]

Hello,
there is one thing, which i have on Intel NIC and this is Bios Post message during boot.. So i want to know if it could be disabled, bypassed etc, if yes how?

Should have a menu option during POST to hit a key combo (Ctrl + S or something like that if it is an add-in card or if it is an onboard card, or go into your BIOS and disable the boot menu option under your Network card options)

You could also try this if the above 2 options do not work:

Thanks, im a bit confused of what each options means, i could disable some option (i dont see it know), but there is still timer. Should be also timer set to zero, its its other option?

Tell me what options you are referring to? If it is asking for a DHCP lease, you should change the boot order in your BIOS to HDD 1st, CD-Rom 2nd and NIC 3rd

Take the NIC out of the boot list in BIOS.

If you think Boot device list, its not helping.

Either use the software I linked you to to disable it in windows or see if there is a keystroke combo that allows you to enter the BIOS menu on that card to disable to boot manager.

It could also be labeled as "option rom" in the bios, will likely be near the onboard NIC enable/disable setting

How about using a program called: Autoruns .. which you can get from here ... It shows exactly what is starting up and lets you disable anything you do not want automatically starting up. It works on XP / Vista / 7 / 10

I know, i only wonder which from that 5 options is boot screen menu, could disable it, there 2 options, timer and second options.. I dont this card know by my side, so i can say that is new of that second options..

I have used that Bios update utility few times to upgrade Intel NIC bios and is not plesant experience, some GUI manager would be nice, it usually took me 5-10 minutes to write right command.

It would help if we knew the Make & Model of your computer and also of the NIC card ... we can then try to look up how to get rid of that message. It sounds like "Wake on Lan" is somehow enabled.

Computer is AMD970/SB950 Asus board, intel NIC are Intel 100 Pro or Intel 1000 MT Desktop, but its same even on old Conroe865 board and other in non UEFI boot mode.

Per Intel that feature is Turned On by default .. You need to run their utility to turn it OFF
Also in your BIOS the best boot order would be: USB / ODD / HDD / NIC (if you need to boot from a network server)

I general i know that, but that utility is huge, really lots of unclear parameters.. and i dont know what i exactly i dont to turn off.
