on Startup
When my system starts up, the internet connection is dead. This causes various problems with startup items such as updates and auto-start programs failing.
However, the connection is fine after going into Network and Sharing, Change adapter settings, then disabling and re-enabling the adapter.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and how to fix it?
System summary: Windows 7, 64 bit, Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller, Linksys WRT610N router, Sci Atlanta cable modem.
UPDATE: Lately, the network connection for the system mentioned in this question is working about 80% of the time after startup. Have since updated to W7 SP1.

I had this issue on a friends machine. Seems to be a problem with some Windows 7 installs. The only "fix" I could come up with was to create a batch file with the following:
And have it run on Windows startup. (Replace the "Local Area Connection" with the name of the interface you want to disable/enable)
A little hacky, but it worked.
