[ ... ]This box currently uses DHCP to get its IP address. When it boots up, and I log in, and immediately try to initiate any network activity from this box, it takes about 2-3 seconds for said network activity to start. For example, if I were to ping, or startx, it takes about 2-3 seconds for either ping or startx to actually start.
Is this normal?
That sounds more like the puase associated with doing IPv6 versus a IPv4 DNS lookup, assuming it happens when you are trying to ping some remote IP...?
You might also be seeing a pause due to ethernet autoselection; if you manually configure the interface and the switch port to manual 100/FD, doing so might also remove a brief pause. [Fixing the speed is impractical for a roaming laptop, but it might be worth trying as a test... ]
