Disable DHCP with DSL connections
If you use a DSL modem to connect to the Internet, and you dial the connection directly from your computer, you may notice a rather long delay between the time the Windows desktop appears when booting up and when you can actually dial your connection.

The source of this delay is Windows XP attempting to locate an IP address for the network adaptor you are using to connect to the DSL modem. (more…)
