strange delay boot time

[[email protected]]

Hi All

It's been a few days now that my XP hang on, while booting, for roughly
50 seconds on the blue screen where is written "WInDOWSXP". In the
meanwhile the HD has a blinking light. After that there is the desktop
launch and all seems to work correctly. The strange is that if I turn
off the adsl ethernet modem before booting no delay in desktop launch
is observed.
I have manually assigned the ip of the Ethernet card. A virus & spyware
scan has been unsuccessful. Event viewer found no error.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Probably normal since you manually set the IP instead of leaving it
automated.

Don't fix what ain't broke?
