Windows takes 2 minutes to `find` Internet after boot
I use a `pre-activated` version of Windows and this morning after to have rearmed it a few times in the past months it said that I had reached the maximum of my postpones. So I decided to go with a whole new stuff, then I formatted my SSD and made a fresh installation of W7 Pro 64.
Installation done, as usual my first thing to do is to establish the Internet connection to download AV and firewall. My conn here is wi-fi, so I set it up and the small bars icons told me that I was connected. However when I tried to navigate the browser just kept looking for pages forever. I tried to reinstall my wi-fi driver, removed and re-setup the connection, and nothing. Then my wife asked me to go to the supermarket. As I left computer on, when I came back I had a page not found on my screen, but just in case I pressed F5 and... page loaded!
Then I downloaded and installed my Firewall and AV with a couple other things and rebooted the PC. Guess what? No web browsing again. After a few attempts I figured out that whenever I reboot my computer it is longing around 2 minutes until `find` the Internet. But I don`t get any `!` sign over the small bars or something like that — apparently everything is fine, it is just that it doesn`t find the web for a while.
OK, here is the threat... the computer is not new, I didn`t change anything in its configuration and it never happened before. It was fine just before I reinstall Windows today. Any idea about what may be causing it and what would the heal for the problem? I am thinking about to install Windows once more to see if the problem disappear but I thought on ask here before...
Any help appreciated! Thanks!
