Internet takes a while to initialize

by GhOst-AdVance Jul 24, 2007 4:00AM PDT

Hello

Im running Windows Vista Business, connected via ethernet to a Shuttle XPC. When I installed Windows, it automatically picked up the ethernet port, and I didnt have to manually install any drivers.

When I boot the machine, the Internet is down for about 30~45 seconds, then it connects. The problem with this is that I cant get online right away, and AVG complains that it could not update its definitions.

I believe that this is a Vista problem because it connects fine on XP and Linux.

Have You Installed Updated Ethernet Drivers?

by Grif Thomas Former Forum moderator Jul 24, 2007 5:57AM PDT

It may have worked initially but that doesn't mean that the correct, updated drivers won't help.. The biggest problem I'm seeing with our local connections deal with ethernet, modem, or router firmware/drivers.

Hope this helps.
