I have one older system that I just rebuilt ( new mobo, case & power ) I kept OS and drive. Part of the reason to rebuild was to be upgradable, and to see if this one system would fix it's internet establishment issue. I have 6 other computers working from this router and switch that establish a connection within 11 seconds after logon, the system here in question takes 1-2 minutes to do the same. Once on it is fine. All I can summize is that a some point I changed the settings in windows which cause this slowness? I have changed the cable, whole new network adapter and driver, just the OS has remained the same. I thought about doing a completely clean re-install, but re-loading this particular system would be a daunting task due to it's links with my business. What could I have possibly changed months ago that is causing this glitch?
