Delays of exactly two minutes at boot are usually service startup deadlocks.
These can be pretty hard to track down though.

Does the event log have anything interesting to say?

I just checked, and the following two errors were listed around the last
time I booted.

Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10005
Date: 11/13/2003
Time: 1:53:10 AM
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: MERCURY
Description:
DCOM got error "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled
or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. " attempting to
start the service upnphost with arguments "" in order to run the server:
{204810B9-73B2-11D4-BF42-00B0D0118B56}

** And then a few seconds later, this error:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7022

Time: 2:53:15 AM

Any ideas?
