JSI Tip 0919. How do I alter the timeout before receiving "A domain controller for your domain could not be contacted"?

To alter the timeout on your lan or switched ethernet networks, use Regedt32 to browse to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters

Add Value name ExpectedDialupDelay, a type REG_DWORD value, and set it to a number of seconds between 0 and 600.
