I don't know how much I can help but I have heard of this
kind of problem before. But I installed a network card
and at bootup the pc would stop and try to built the I.P
for the pc before continuing to load the other programs.
I noticed this was even worse when nothing was contected
to the network card (took way to long). I got around this
by assigning it a static I.P. and it would load again fast.
Something like this might be happening to you, as where
the pc is probably trying to generate you an I.P
connection with the internet before continuing on.
