Question : Network connections and startup speed on new computer

I have a new computer and all the applications startup extremely fast; however, if I launch the internet, for example, the program will launch but no websites will show up until the local area connection is established.  It usually takes like 30 seconds for the connection to establish.  

On my old computer, the connection would be made instantly and I could access the web as soon as I turned on the computer.

I notice I have two connections in my network connections folder:  local area connection and 1394 connection.  Both say connected and firewalled.  What can I do to make the connection get made quicker so I can simply turn it on and access the web and I don't have to wait for the connection to slowly be made.  

By the way, the speed is fast once the connection actually gets made.

I have Windows XP Pro and I'm using the XP firewall and Security essentials.
