Hello.
I am using my laptop in many different networks on a daily basis. Whenever the DHCP server is NOT functioning, it will take my laptop about 2 minutes before the search for a DHCP server (and valid IP) will finally time out.
Is there a setting somewhere I can change to make my laptop time out in "more like 30 seconds". I can usually tell very quickly if the DHCP server is working in a new network, and 2 minutes is just too long to wait, especially when I have to do this step over and over for some equipment!
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks :)
