    Taking long time to acquire ip address after rebooting


    Hi,
    Machine with Win7 Pro 32bit.
    This peculiar problem from 4 days, when the machine is logged in, it takes very long time to acquire ip address (though its a static ip).
    The Network icon at the task bar keeps searching (rotating) and meanwhile I cannot open any folders or applications.
    It gets connected after a while approx 10-15 minutes.

    I have reset the winsock. Tried stopping some unwanted services in msconfig, disabled the built-in firewall, uninstalled antivirus (security essentials).
    No hopes...
    Any workarounds....

    Thanks,
    Kiran

    Hello,

    Click start>run. Type 'cmd' and press enter. In the command prompt type in 'ipconfig /all' and press enter. Paste the results into the thread.

    From what you have said it sounds as though it is looking for an IP address and doesnt have a static address assigned.
