by "going on line" do you mean they show up in the system tray next to the
clock? This has nothing to do with your ethernet card.

Do you mean it takes a few minutes to get on the internet because your
computer is taking so long to finish booting up? If so then you have
something running at startup that is slowing down the process. What do you
currently have checked off in the "startup" tab of msconfig? (start > run >
msconfig)

Try disabling the things you have running at startup and see if your startup
times get better, try one by one to see which one is the culprit.

Thank you, Byte, for your response. I don't think that's the problem,
though.

I use a little program called "Start-up Manager", and I know each and
every program that starts, and why.

Incidentally, I don't see the Ethernet card anywhere in any start-up
files. What tells it to start functioning after the computer starts?

Thanks!
