font-family:Arial'>Not sure this has been asked before, and I hope that I can
describe my needs well enough to make sense so someone can answer, but I have a
strange need. I have a laptop that when I am work, I connect to the network and
upon bootup networking starts, grabs <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">NIS</st1:place></st1:City>
information, etc, and all is well. However, when I am at home without a
network, or anywhere else for that matter, it’s a real pain because it
takes forever to ‘timeout’ getting an IP and attempting to contact
the <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">NIS</st1:place></st1:City> server.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best approach to fixing this problem? I
thought about disabling the networking on boot up, and running something like
network manager in X. Is there a way to do this using some bootup profiles and
grub?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
