I have a question concerning wireless network adapters in combination with
LAN network cards in a laptop (in my case a Dell Latittude D600).
When Windows XP SP2 is in the process of starting up (message screen:
preparing network connections), it takes a long time before it finishes the
process and shows the logon screen (Ctrl + Alt +Del). The reason for this is
that it tries first to find the domain controllers for the domain via the
fixed LAN connection (but that one is not connected) and secondly via the
wireless interface (and that one also has no network connection because there
is no access point in the neighorhood). I just want to logon wih cached
credentials.
Is there some way to speed up the process? Now it waits for a time-out on
the wireless networking interface, which takes a while.
I know that a hardware profile will fix the problem (disabling the wireless
networking interface), but I wonder if there is another method.
Thanx in advance...
