Xbox Live troubles.. ps3 owners can possibly help too?

Question

K so let me explain this the best i can... Whenever i go on my xbox and sign on my xbox live account it never connects the first time. i have my xbox connected to a router with an ethernet cable that was supplied with the xbox.

when i try to sign in the first time it says cant connect to xbox live blah blah blah "test connection" and "ok" when i test the connection it usually says theres a problem with the DNS but sometimes it says the ip (not usually).

ANYWAYS when i unplug the ethernet cable from the router and leave it out for about 5-10 seconds and put it back in, it will connect to xbox live right away no problems at all..

Anyone know how to prevent this and have it sign on right away everytime? its not much of a problem just kinda annoying to have to do it every time.

any help appriciated.. thanks!
