Because DHCP depends on a server to supply the information, you are rather at the mercy of your ISP as to how quickly they give you an IP address. The only thing I can think of that you could affect is to change the order of the startup scripts when your system is booting, so that networking is installed and started almost immediately. But I think that the default order for the scripts is already pretty well optimized. I may be wrong. Dave -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup.
