Network connection when OS starts

[EmbraceNext]

It takes about 2 minutes to have network connectivity after my system starts up. Is this normal for a macpro? I don't have that problem on my macbook pro.

I have the early 2008 release MP. Can someone help me to get the network connectivity to start as soon as desktop is displayed like my macbook pro?

Thanks
Mark

Which Ethernet connector are you using? eth0 should give you an instant connection, eth1 will work when eth0 fails.
