Networking Problem

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

its taking a while to get a dynamic ip assigned, setup static ips

Don't you have to pay extra w/ bellsouth to get a static IP?

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
