slow activation

[munna_dude]

hi all
i am using Fedora5 AMD
i have some doubts about networking
terminal->neat->activate or deactivate.
when i deactivate the network, it will work fast(means it will quickly deactivate). but when i activated. it will take few seconds..
why it is happening like this.

is there any way to activate the network, fast.

help me

thank you in advance.

Have you tried activating the device on boot? There is an option in the network tool (neat) to activate on boot, select that and your network should be running by the time you get to the desktop.

i would again suggest having the device start when you boot the computer. in linux there is a file that you can make executable (/etc/rc.d/rc.local) and add your commands to it (ifup eth0) and it will run when the computer boots. im sure there are networking scripts for your distro that will do the equivalent--search around. or is there an option in your GUI for networking/system configuration that specifies you want it to be enabled automatically at boot?
