Computer turns on fast, Ethernet driver doesn't

[sage78]

Hello.

 

Since some time ago I've been using a SSD to boot Windows and I can turn on and restart my PC pretty fast.

 

Problem is, my internet connection takes around 20-30 seconds to be established wich is pretty annoying.

 

Is there any way to fix this? I'm on Windows 7 64bit

 

Best regards.

When you installed your SSD, did you move your drivers over to it too?

Hey. I did a fresh install of Windows 7 and installed all the drivers in the SSD as far as I remember.

You're sure it's not a portfast problem?

Portfast is a feature of managed switches running SpanningTree (may be listed as 802.1d or 802.1w). If you have a standard home all-in-one device you don't have to worry about this. It could also be a DHCP issue however, try assigning a static address to your nic and see how that goes (not reserving an address in the router software, this is still a DHCP service). Don't forget to exclude the address from your DHCP pool on your DHCP device after.

You might try checking the router itself. I remember when our router/modem combo from the ISP started dying, it took minutes for it to connect to the internet, across all devices. We then upgraded the ISP router/modem combo to a higher end model and haven't had any issues since.

I've decided to do a fresh install on windows, since besides having the problem with that driver, I also wanted to change my partitions on the SSD so that its all for windows (its a small 60 GB SSD)

Now it turns on faster than ever! and the internet doesnt take half a minute to load

 

Thanks for the people who helped
