Recently when I turn on my pc the dsl connection is not immediately available

I have to sit and wait for the rotating icon before I can connect. This is something recent and not sure if it is a FIOS issue or if it is a software issue. It takes several minutes for it to connect, anyone having this issue?

I would help to know at least:

#1 What is the brand and model of your modem?

#2 What is the brand and model of your router?

#3 What OS and version are you using?

For example Windows XP Home SP3.

#4 What software firewall is on your computer?

The firewall built into Windows XP.
