Delayed start of e1000 network card [Server 2008]

[bhennigar]

I have a KVM with Windows Server 2008 with SP2.
I'm using e1000 as the network card and my problem is that it's very slow to connect to the network when starting up. Using the vnc console I'm able to log in and get to the desktop and the network status says not connected. After 1-2 minutes of being logged in, the network connects. I'm using a static IP. Has anyone experienced this? I updated the Intel drivers two day ago but it didn't help. The same thing happens when using VirtIO network.

Well, I have the same behavior on windows 2003 guest systems. Up to now I could not solve this issue.

What is the physical NIC you are using? Do you have multiple VM's sharing the same NIC? Paste the output from 'lspci -vv' from the proxmox gui here.

The physical NIC is a Broadcom NetXtream II. It's shared with 4 other VM's. None of the others have this problem. It doesn't matter if this problem VM is the only one running.
