10 min boot

[mortsnurd]

When I boot up 'Win XP Home' it stops at the "Welcome" screen for 10 min. If
I hit ctrl/alt/del then it carries on like normal. Using 'msconfig' I find
that if I disable "Net Logon" then the problem goes away. M$'s answer (KB)
to this problem is to ignore it! If I do without "Net Logon" I can get
online via a router & cable modem.
For now this puter is stand-alone, however if I want to connect it to a home
network later will this be a problem?
Thanks,
Mort

Might help if you refer us to the KB article you are looking at.

Also.. Do you see any error in the Event logs using Event Viewer?

What is the exact path in msconfig/Net Logon and what is the article you are
following?
