Networking Problem

Post by Smartweb »

Whenever I start up my computer (which is behind a router), it takes a few minutes for the Internet to begin working. Why?

no, your router's ip is most likey 192.168.1.1

go into your router and disable dhcp server

now, go into your network properties and assign a static ip address to the tcpip service and dns servers
