Using the Ethernet LAN Port
When your computer starts, Windows attempts to contact a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. If the
computer is not connected to a network it may pause a few
minutes as it waits for a reply. To avoid this delay you can
reconfigure Windows to disable the LAN port.
To disable the LAN port:
1 Click Start, Control Panel, Performance and
Maintenance, and then System.
2 Click the Hardware tab, and then click the Device
Manager button.
3 Select the appropriate network adapter.
4 Click Actions.
