On a Windows XP laptop, I can't make a PPTP connection for ten
minutes after restarting. Internet Explorer is working fine during that
time; the network icon appears almost right away in the system tray. All of
a sudden, after about ten minutes, without doing anything else, the PPTP
icon starts working and is fine until shutdown. What might be causing this?
