LAN is slow to connect to router

[snadge]

I have installed windows 7 x64 onto an SSD - during the whole update thing it was connecting to LAN almost as soon as desktop was loaded - but now it takes a good 15 seconds or more saying "identifying" whilst displaying the yellow ! triangle (after first displaying the rotating 'connecting' circle) - im sitting with chrome open unable to connect whilst i wait for the LAN to connect

can anyone help me with this?

its a Gigabit LAN port on a Netgear DG834GT - like I say it was fine before


thanks

when ive checked it takes 60 seconds too connect from first attempt - really annoying, i fixed it before by uninstalling device driver then re-installing it but its happened again?
