[QUOTE="mac57, post: 218472, member: 17052"] The other thing that may be at play is how quickly your internet connection establishes. I was noting wild variability in how quickly my new Power Mac G5 would come up. Sometimes it was almost instantaneous, sometimes it took quite a while. The Power Mac G5 has two LAN connections labelled "1" and "2". I had provisioned all the details about my connection against connection number "1", but in my newbie ignorance had plugged the DSL modem into connection number "2". SOMEHOW, Mac OS X could work this out and make it go, it is just that it seemed to take a variable amount of time. Once I realized what was going on, and moved the cable to connector "1", everything became very predictable in terms of start up speed. So, the moral of this story? How fast is your internet connection establishing? Does your ISP have variable connect times? This might be part of the issue you are seeing. [/QUOTE]
