Hmm, I'm so used to the latter, and NOT ever waiting. Win98SE was always instantaneous with all of its LAN links. I can't understand why they made such a hash out of NT/2K/XP (XP isn't REAL slow like Win2K, but it is *much* slower than Win98SE, always).

Maybe. What I've now got in the habit of doing is starting up Explorer once when I've switched everything on and everything is ready, then open all the LAN processor links (30 seconds each x 4) , and then just leave that copy of Explorer running all the time. At least with 1 Gb memory it isn't really in the way.
