Can you force XP to connect to the LAN before executing other (dependent)
tasks? For example, Messenger tries to sign in before the connection to the
router is fully established on a PC using XP and a Netgear router - and
consequently the sign in fails.
Charlie,
Is your network Ethernet, or WiFi? Many WiFi client managers load only after
you login, and request that you select a network connection.
I, personally, won't have any IM client load automatically. I have 3 on each of
my computers - Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo. But I start each one when
convenient to ME, not when the desktop loads. The first thing I do after
updating any IM client is check the settings and make sure that "Start
automatically" is NOT selected.
