Hi I have a Windows 7 x64 installation (SP1) which is having a nightmare connecting to any network. When I initially start windows, it takes several minutes to connect to my network (ethernet). When I change network (for example VPN) it again takes several minutes before allowing any internet traffic. The same when disconnecting from VPN. Here are my network driver details NVIDA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Cisco Systems VPN Adapter for 64-bit Windows Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Any hints? If further information is needed, I can try to provide it. Thanks
