When I installed my second NIC (D-Link) and got it working with another computer
my boot time went up an annoying 20 or 30 seconds which I'm used to now. However
that's not any 3 minutes.
I use a twisted pair cable (no hub) for the connection and in Network only TCP/IP.
I think I had NET-BUI installed but found I didn't need it.
I don't know if any of this helps, but it seems to me your result is excessive.

I have a question about Things that slow down system bootup:
Hi, I installed a second network card to link up pc's at home to share a
cable modem. The bootup has gone from about 45 seconds, to 3-1/2 minutes.
If I remove the card, bootup goes back to 45 seconds. What gives?
