For the past year or so I had this problem and it finally went away.

It went away when I could not access the Internet. My trouble shooting revealed invalid IP address and invalid network. The Uverse repair came out to the house and reset the system. The poroblem was fixed as I was able to get on the Internet. And as an added bonus, the cmd screen upon computer start-up did not come back.

My opinion, and its only an opinion, has to do with the network I was accessing in the past, it was called network2. After the repair, I noticed I now accessed network 3 to get on the Internet. No more cmd screen when I fired up the computer.
