I had two 3Com 3C905B-TX ethernet cards in my Sony VAIO. One was connected to a Cisco 675 router my ADSL ISP had supplied and set up as a DHCP server. I was running SuSE at the time and configured it as a dhcpd. The eth1 was hooked to a NetGear 4 port hub, to which my other two computers were attached. The Sony was my internet fireway, router and server, besides being my wife's workstation. The connect took a 3 or 4 seconds on boot up and the same when the lease was renewed every twenty four hours. Surfing the internet from my PC, via my eth0 3C905B-TX card to her eth1 and then out through her eth0 to the internet was essentially instantaneous. The slowest part of the connection was the 40 -120 miliseconds that connecting to a website took. When I got my current box, also containing a 3COM 3CC905B-TX, I also changed ISPs to RoadRunner. They supplied a Toshiba cable modem, which I connected to my eth0 and configured it as a dhcpd with MCC. The connection is almost instantaneous. I suspect your connection is not creating /etc/resolv.conf and/or it is taking too long to resolve the DNSs -- JLK
