Lenovo SL500 - Takes forever to see/connect to internet

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

I'm having trouble with my laptop.  It starts up within normal time frame, however it takes forever for it to notice and connect to the internet.  20 minutes.  Also, I noticed the blue button with the wrench above it is on.  Does that mean anything?  Please help!  This is my work computer and it's slowing me down!!!

When did this happen? Any changes in the network environment?

Wireless? Cable connect direct?

It started Monday morning.  No changes to network.

It started Monday.  No changes.  Business as usual and it is wireless.  But I tried connecting direct to the wall and it didn't recognize it either.

Do you happen to have a restore point on your notebook to go back to the day before? Any error messages or codes during the connection attempts?

Review your antivirus settings, review your start-up processes and see if any conflict in the network management, try also uninstall and let the system reinstalling the network devices in your devices manager.
