    Hello all, My laptop takes ages to connect to the LAN. At the beginning I can right click my connection and activate it... after some attempts it works, but it takes a lot of time: 2 or 3 minutes after it has been started... If I do not try to activate it manually it starts also automatically... and I guess that it takes the same time... If I make a ping before, all the packages get lost... Any idea? PS: It is a IBM T41 laptop that has always worked like charm. I've not installed a new software.
