SUMMARY
After logon, Windows NT may repeatedly cycle through connecting to
your persistent network connections if you have several transports
loaded. This occurs with either a standard logon to a local account or
with AutoAdminLogon enabled.
Windows NT attempts to restore the network connections before the
network is started. The system waits for the network to start up, but,
in order to make the system more responsive, it only waits for a
maximum of 15 seconds. If there are several protocols loaded, then
Windows NT will retry the connections until the network actually
starts and it can reconnect.
