SERVICES.EXE CPU 100% on enable/disable network connection

I have a dell laptop running windows 2000 pro that every time the
Local Area Network connection is enabled or disabled SERVICES.EXE
utilizes 100% CPU for about a minute to a minute and a half. Then the
laptop returns to normal. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is problably the DHCP Service starting up or shutting down. Go to
control panel, admininistrative tools, services and scroll thru the
list. ALL of those are what comes up under Services in the task
manager.
