Checking the Application section of Event Viewer, I notice a WARNING message as follows:
 
"WMI ADAP was unable to process the PerfDisk performance library due to a time violation in the open function."
 
And, the System section displays the following WARNING and ERROR messages:
 
WARNING Message: "Your computer has automatically configured the IP address for the Network Card with network address 00C0F06D49C9. The IP address being used is ___.___.___.___ ." (I'm leaving the exact IP address blank for privacy reasons...)
 
and a few seconds later:
 
ERROR Message: "The IP address lease ___.___.___.___ for the Network Card with network address 444553547777 has been denied by the DHCP server 1.1.1.1 (The DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message)." (again, the actual IP address is left blank for privacy...)
 
These messages occur at every boot-up. The Warning and Error IP's are different from each other. The two different IP's listed are the same at every boot-up though. Any thoughts on what these mean? I'm expiencing excessively long boot-up times and very slow hand-shake times for my DSL connection. Once the overyly long hand-shake is completed, the DSL works great. My DSL uses an NIC vice USB. Thanx in advance.
