Vista - I must wait 4 minutes before I can connect to the internet
When Vista's desktop appears, I can't connect to the internet for
about 4 minutes. If I click on IE or Outlook Express, these applications don't appear on the desktop. Also, the Avast anti-virus icon in the system tray says: "you're not fully protected". After about 4 minutes of this idleness, the system shudders in to life, and I can then use IE & Outlook Express and connect to the internet. Also, the Avast anti-virus icon changes to "fully protected". This Vista machine has been working correctly, up to now. However, I did make a few changes recently. One thing I did was I tried to get MS Messenger working, and used this command: netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled This worked, and allowed MS Messenger to work. Also, I set up MS Windows Live Family Filter. I think it's at that stage that this connection problem has occured. I've tried the following actions to fix this situation, without success. 1) I'm using a wired modem, netgear DG834. It does have the latest firmware. 2) I tried netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal 3) I tried ipconfig /flushdns 4) I tried Deleting the content of the SOCKS field, inside MS Messenger tools/ options. One thing I'm not sure about is what netgear modem driver I'm using. I can't remember if I installed one, or if I'm using one supplied by Vista. (Sorry I'm not very familiar with this Vista machine - it's not my regular PC.) Any ideas please people? Thanks a lot for any suggestions. |
