Very slow network identification (Wired)

It takes between 45-60 seconds from the time the desktop is shown, untill the network identification is done. This is both after normal reboot, or resume from standby. After that, everything works fine. For me, that is just a long time to wait, and i wonder if someone else have the same problem? I tried disabling ipv6 and the option to power down the card when in sleep mode.

My network card is in my system specs, and i use the only driver for Win7 64bit for this card.

Thanks in advance

Please post all of your hardware in your system specs.

Done, do you have an idea what's causing the problem?

I used static IPs and a master browser that wasn't turned off much to make my network much faster at log in for XP. It might or might not help you. I still use it and my network is available instantly, though I did have to let the router assign the IP first though DHCP, then I set the same addresses to static.

I set static IP, and the problem was solved! Thank you.

I'm just annoyed that this has to be a problem, when it seems like a very basic functionality in an operating system.

But thanks again!

Have you checked your router? Since the router assigns the IP with DHCP, and there's a delay with the computer actually getting the IP, it might be an issue with your router.

Well, now i feel stupid for not checking that. It turns out UPnP was disabled on my router. After enabling it, the ip was obtained automatically in a few seconds. Thanks once again!

No problem.

My fix was simply the uninstallation of bonjour.exe - some kind of network program for Apple - might have been installed with iTunes - anyway, boots fast now without it, and everything else seems to be just fine as well - been 2 days since I made the change.
