[Update:Solution]

It was my router which set STP on by default. Switching it off (in smaller networks) or using RSTP made the delays go away.

Hóla!

For a long time I’ve got this horribly annoying problem: Upon bootup, ANY domain-machine that is using LAN (no probs with wireless) has an idle-time with “there’s no network!” of about 1-2mins until they discovered the network. BUT only windows-machines. Linux boxes get net instantly. Also on LAN.

Setup: 2 Domaincontrollers, Server2019. Both are DNS, one is DHCP and NPS for WIFI. All machines have fixed IPs, the DHCP is just for wireless clients.

I have tried everything I could think of, like NIC-Drivers, OpenDHCP, temporarily changed the switch from a managed one to a dumb one, changed the NIC in the server, let only one DC be alive at a time, rejoined the domain, the usual sfc/dism-approach and whatnot.

I asked once on reddit, but everyone just told me “that’s DHCP!”, yet it’s (seemingly at least) not. All have fixed IPs, but using dhcp doesn’t change a thing.

So I’m clueless again, hoping for some nerd that’s nerdier than me to have an idea :)

    You were ready for reading the manual. Darn good that you’ve made it without passing that line. Once you pass it you never come back to being sane again, you know?

    :D
