LAN limited or no connectivity

I was using a router and had some problems with it, so I plugged my DSL modem
directly into the ethernet port in my desktop. Now I get a LAN message
(little or no connectivity) everytime I start the computer (this takes about
1 minute to generate), and then it will connect through to the Internet via
the modem. I have uninstalled the ethernet card and reinstalled it via
Device manager to no avail. Is there a remedy for this?

If everything is working and you are just irritated by the message, you can
disable it by opening your network connections, right click the LAN
connection>properties, and remove the mark for that notification.
