Slow Start-up When Using Norton Internet Security

Slow start-up when using Norton Internet Security 2002?

If you are using Norton Internet Security 2002, and are experiencing slow start-up of XP.

i.e. you can see the desktop with icons etc. but it takes 30-60sec before you
can start using the computer.

1. Click on start buttom.
2. Select control panel
3. Open “Network Connections”
4. Under “LAN and High-Speed Internet”, right-click on your “Local Area Connection” and select “Properties”
5. Under “General” tab, select “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and select “Properties.
6. Select “Use the following IP address:”
7. Under “IP address” enter following : 192.168.0.1
8. Under “Subnet Mask:” enter following : 255.255.255.0
9. Click “Ok”
:lol:

Finally
I was just about to ask.....
i have been wondering about this problema for a while now

Does it also work even if your changing IP(switching modems) alot?

Anyway ill find out soon enough.

Thanx

That really shouldn't have an effect on Norton Internet Security...
And not only that, if one who does this has a dynamic ip, they'll run into problems, just like Zedaxx did

Too Bad........

Anyway,
according to another Norton Guru

" 192.168.0.1 is not a valid IP address to get to the internet. It can only be used behind a NAT device.
That IP address doesn't go anywhere. Its only valid for local neworks."

buy another 128 or 256 mb ram ;)

Or get rid of Norton Internet Security :D

Glad someone else was puzzled. That range is reserved for LANs, so I didn't think it could help. I used NSW for several years but quit because it's a resource hog, and most of its functions are performed by Windows, without all the bells and whistles. It installs dozens of programs, most of which I could never figure out the utility for, and, when I did need some of the advanced functions - they didn't work. Capping it all off, you've just about got to reformat in order to get rid of all the debris - or get a good registry cleaner. I use NAV and like it, but, to me, NSW is worse than useless.

Disable NIS on startup. Start->Run->Msconfig->Startup.
