Wireless network causing long delays opening programs (WXP-Home)

Every time i come back home from uni and connect wirelessly to my home network, my computer sometimes suffers long 1-2 min delays opening any programs.
When i go back to uni and connect through a wired connection everything works fine.
I've done allsort to try and fix it and nothing works.
Any sugestions?

Intel P4 3GHz HT
Win XP home
1.5GB RAM
Ati X300
Realtek RTL8180 Wireless LAN
Motherboards 10/100 Ethernet

thanks

Do you perform normal shutdown and restart or do you use standby or hibernate? If you use later ones, your computer has still old ip-address at home. That might cause delays when windows tries to access resources using it. After some time windows may detect wrong ip-address and acquire new one.

To resolve this without reboot, you can use ipconfig command. So at home open command prompt and give command "ipconfig /release". It will relese your old dynamic ip-address. Then run command "ipconfig /renew". That will acquire new ip-address from your home network. Hope this helps.

I do a normal shutdown or a restart.
at home i use an IP that i've chosen myself, (manual setup). at uni it was set to aquire one from their servers.
I have noticed that if i'm not connected to the wireless network i dont have these slowdowns.

the IP address it is trying to connect to is my old IP on the other network.
