It's happening in the last months: after startup, I have no Web (HTTP) Internet connection for some minutes. Any website I try to open, no data gets received, until the browser goes into timeout.
This happens for - like - 2-3 minutes after boot, then everything goes back to normal.
Please notice that this issue only concerns the Web connection (HTTP): everything else Internet-related (mail reception, BitTorrent connection) works normally just after boot.
I'm using an iMac Early 2009 with OSX 10.6.8. I have a 6 Mbit ADSL connection (via Ethernet, not WiFi) that for several years has been working flawlessly.
I've been using this iMac with OSX 10.6.8 for three years, and it never happened until some months ago.
Googling this problem didn't find anything similar.
- It isn't a browser problem, because it happens in Firefox, Safari and Opera.
- The problem seems at the software level, because when I boot in a different O.S. (OSX 10.9, Windows 7 via Bootcamp), the connection works as it should. So the hardware is fine.
- I tried changing DNS Server in Network preferences, nothing changed.
I checked the system logs, but I couldn't find anything relevant.
It's quite odd, and I can't think of any reason... any idea?
