1-2 minute dealy on startup

[Buster]

I have noticed many other posts and thought I would add
mine for some feedback.

Clean installation of Windows XP. Install SP1.
Computer will reach the desktop and load then hangs for 1-
2 minutes. The hard drive does not respond at all in that
time.

Unable to launch programs during this time.
It will resume the load and finish within 5-10 seconds.

Nothing running in Startup.
No virus or Spyware involved. Something in SP1 mkaes it
hang during startup.

I have also, performed clean installation, installed all
programs including AV, computer will boot normally
multiple times and connect to the internet. Perfect.

Installed SP1 again, computer hangs at boot.

If network cable is plugged in, it will hang. If not
computer will not. No mapped drives.

I have captured SVCHOST trying to connect to
239.255.255.250 Port 1900
&
255.255.255.255 DHCP

I have already checked this and the registry entry is
already correct.

I'm kinda stumped.

There's a delay of a minute or so at startup if:

1. A network connection is configured to obtain an IP address
automatically, and:

2. There's no DHCP server on the network to assign it.

You can tell whether that's the case by looking at the connection's IP
address: it will be 169.254.x.x.

FWIW - I disable DHCP and DNS if I am not connecting to a server - and
hardwire the network card's addy.

So i have to disable this when I boot and then re-enable
it when I want to sign onto my DSL connection?

If the DSL modem is not booted completely when starting XP, the startup
will stall while waiting for the modem. If this is an external modem,
leave it on 24/7 or boot it completely before starting XP.
