takes >60 secs after system start to establish network connect

[Steve Richter]

each time I boot my Vista PC the system is very slow to establish a
connection to the network. How do I go about troubleshooting this
problem?

I have a SOHO network config. One Vista PC, one W2K3 server on the
network. Verizon supplied FIOS router gets me on the internet. The
network runs great once it is connected.

When I click diagnose and repair on the network icon the result is a
"cant repair the problem" answer.

thanks,

-Steve

If this is from the time you press the start button,
You have a normal and faster start than most other Computers.

the 60 second wait occurs after the PC is completely started and my
applications are launched.

this wait also often happens after the PC has been idle for > 1 hour
and put to sleep according to the Power Options.

Are you using DHCP? If so, try setting fixed addresses and see if that
helps.
