    Okay, thanks for the info. Just a hunch - I've noticed this on my mom's
    system (9.2 w/ dyanamic IP + dsl). I have a static IP with my provider, so
    I don't have this issue.

    I wonder if your ISP is having a problem assigning an IP to your
    workstation. Dunno why. I noticed on my mom's system, she doesn't even get
    internet for about two or three minutes after she boots. Then - suddenly -0
    she's got 1500Kbps. (I haven't tried windows on her system yet.)

    Get yerself up and running in whatever method you choose.

    Now, go into your router config and hard code an IP to your MAC address.
    I'm guessing this'll be something like 192.168.0.1 or whatever your router
    feeds out as IP addresses.

    Then go into Win/Linux and change the DHCP settings to that static IP.
    You'll now need to configure your gateway and DNS servers, too.

    Reboot. (Seriously, I think it'll help out.)

    See if that works. In this method, your router is the only thing requesting
    an address from your ISP. Once the machine boots, the MAC will be seen and
    the router will instantly dish out the prescribed IP addy. You'll notice a
    differnce in Linux when booting (if you use GUI) by hitting F2. You can see
    the progression of network assignment.

    HTH!
