I can never connect to the web first time when I switch my PC on. I always have to switch the PC off and the modem etc. off completely then switch back on before I can connect. I always switch the ntl cable modem and Linksys router on before the PC. Once connected there's never any problem.
The strange thing is that the Local Area connection icon shows a 100.0 Mbps connection as being present the first time but I can't connect until I switch off etc. I've tried right clicking the icon and selecting repair but it doesn't help.
I've tried connecting the modem directly to the PC thus 'removing' the router but the results are variable; sometimes it connects first time but not always.
I'm running WinXP Pro SR2 with AVG using 1mb BB.
I'd be very grateful for ideas!
