Re: Windows Loopback adaptor revisited - problem

2004-08-23 by njfranknj

Well, that wasn't it. I went through the directions for setting the
lpt port up with the Loopback Adaptor again and used lpt2 instead of
lpt3, which I had used before, then I deleted lpt3. I have another
printer on lpt1.

It makes absolutely no difference to the now very long startup times
I'm experiencing with Win2K. Win2K used to take about a minute to
boot, now it takes about 5 and it seems like all of that time is due
to some network setup operations - the message before the major delay
is about setting up the network connections to \\fk\quad2200\, the
location of the QTR sharing setting that the Loopback Adaptor uses.
