Thank you for the suggestion. I have already made the Quick Logon setting
but still no help. Any other ideas are welcome. Steve

In the network properties, Client for Microsoft Networks properties, make
sure that you have selected Quick logon rather than Logon and restore
network connections under Network logon options. That way the system does
not attempt to establish a session with other computers on the network
until
you attempt to access one.

Last week I fooled with my LinkSys LNE100 network card. Now WIN98 (1st
edition) boots very slow. It stays on the blank desktop for over 2
minutes, then the icons start to load and everything goes as normal. I
reinstalled the network card drivers several times, did updated NAV
scans,
spyware checks etc. A boot log analysis shows Ndis2sup.vxd failed (but I
read that's normal). This is not a
ram problem or such. There must be some setting or conflict with
something.
I suspect that windows is having a hard time finding something (like a
network ) at start up. Any ideas, either network or other? Thanks.
