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 NIS 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 NIS 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?
