That makes two of us. Usually the slow 'net add gateway..' occurs after I
reboot to try to wake up Apache, which seems to about die from time to
time. Otherwise the machine boots very quickly (and Apache usally runs
fine). I swapped from a DLink DE220 (NE2000) to a 3c5x9 card to see if
that's the problem. More details (the whole boot esquence) available if
necessary. Again, any ideas???
