ie not establishing connection after initial boot

XP Pro
IE6
D-Link Router

When I switch on my machine and launch IE it always gives me the work
offline and "try again" message/button. Then it connects. It never just
automatically connects when I launch it after booting. Thereafter it's
fine, and I can
close IE and come back to it and it connects right away.
We have 2 other machines here at home on a small workgroup/ network that
connect to the internet through the same router and dsl modem without
difficulty.
Is there a setting somewhere I've overlooked on this machine?
thanks

thanks looks like some stuff to work through here

I just looked under control panel >network connections and find 3 icons -
one for LAN, one for Network Bridge and one for 1394 connection.

Do I even need the two other than LAN ?
