Guy, this problem cropped up suddenly (no new hardware/software added or removed). I have a Netgear DM111p ADSL2+ router, Marvel built in LAN and BSNL Dataone Broadband connection. Of late the Local Area Connection is taking ages [2/3 minutes] to get the IP address (systray icon gives this info when I hover the mouse over it]. Sometimes I get the IP address and connect successfully, othertimes I have to switch off and then switch on the modem and retry.
Current configuration of TCP/IP -%26gt;Automatically get IP address and subnet mask.
Machine %26 OS: XP Proffessional on Intel Core 2.2 Ghz , 2GB Ram, Built in LAN, Sound cards, 120 GB Hdd. Antivirus: Kaspersky 6 suite, WinXP firewall is on.
There is no device/driver conflict in my machine.

I had problems with my NetGear as well, and I had to call tech support. They had to reboot my router. No rhyme or reason, but it did work, and now we're fine. It was free, also.
