You need to delay xbmc startup to allow networking to load first, in Linux a sleep command works. In Windows if you make a .bat file to use as your xbmc launch target you just need to add a delay before the run xbmc command

Code:

NETSH Diag Ping Loopback
"C:\Program Files (x86)\XBMC\XBMC.exe"

will give about a 5 second delay, add another NETSH for 10 seconds.....
