In other words.. when the monitor comes back up, and you get desktop, you click IE, and get a 404 page not found error...
If you wait about 5 minutes and either refresh or close and reopen, it comes up.. perhaps a DHCP prob?

Your NIC is taking time to refresh it's address.
When it poswer down the card, the connection is dropped. Then it needs to refresh the IP, over the cable. I will assume that during this time, much is just the order that the processes are being run when it is rebooted. It may wake up and refresh other devices first, then be gettng the IP fast and this may be slow just due to the cable provider you use.
When you cold boot a PC, it will load the NIC right away, by the time Wondows has booted it only takes a minute for it to grab an IP address.
