I have a question about Things 
that slow down system bootup:


When I bootup my system, it hangs for about 2 minutes while it 'searches for network 
connections.'  This happens when I bootup at home, but not when I am at work on my 
work's network.

I am running Win2000 on my laptop.  I run the computer at home as a standalone, and 
take it to work and connect to the network through a 10/100 LAN card using the cabling 
that looks very similar to telephone cable.

At home, I have ADSL and connect to that in the same way that I connect to the network 
- through the LAN card with phone-type cable.

I never had this problem until I got ADSL.

Can anyone offer a solution to this problem?
