Is it a wireless connection? Try connecting (if the option if available) directly. Wireless devices do have their downfalls. Some worse than others. Bandwidth is inconsistent for a start.

. Another thought is to disable all performance options under Tools > Options > Advanced > Performance
. Under Tools > Options > Speed, disable OOB.
. Under Tools > Options > Connections, have it set to not start up immediately. _ Then after opening LW, wait a few minutes (perhaps 5 or more mins), then go to File menu > Connect.

Then see if same thing happens.

Oh .. and check Network settings under control panels ... is there a DNS number?
