xp network icon slow to start on boot
What anti virus/internet security app are you running?

I have a pc where windows xp home edition boots okay, the icons all load
with good speed except for the network icon. It takes a long time to load
and this is not right. When I start the pc the icons at the bottom right
hand corner load nice and quick, and then the machine just stops and sits
there for a couple of minutes doing nothing, then the hard drive starts
whirring again and the network icon comes up and then I can surf the
internet.
Does anyone know the solution to this? the network icon should come up
much faster. I've tried two different network hardware devices but it's
the same with both. I've also noticed if I go to Control Panel/Network
Connections I get the hour glass for about half a minute before the
network windows comes up.
thanks for any advice.
