WinXP: TCP/IP fails if "File and Printer Sharing" is enabled

WinXP: TCP/IP fails if "File and Printer Sharing" is enabled

A new installation of XP Pro.

Initial setup gave me the 4 default components:
Client for MS Networks (CMSN)
File and Printer Sharing (FaPS)
QoS
TCP/IP

Running DHCP via a router.
Removed QoS.

Packets get sent from the machine but none are received.
Checked ICF and it is not enabled.
Disable everything but TCP/IP, "repair" the connection and all is well
(except for being able to share).
Enable CMSN and connection stays good. However, if I reboot I have to
go back to disabling everything except TCP/IP, repair the connection,
and then add CMSN again.
At any time if I enable FaPS, the connection dies immediately. I test
this by having multiple pings going and as soon as I enable it, the
pings fail.

I've made certain that TCP/IP is the only thing bound to FaPS. No
help.
Uninstalled & reinstalled FaPS. No luck.
Tried it over NetBEUI. Works for a brief period and fails on reboot.
NetBIOS is enabled over TCP/IP.

Any help is appreciated!!

Also, I have tried setting a static IP and the problem persists.

Further information:

I installed IPX and have FaPS and CMSN bound to it and not bound to
IP.
I can see my internal network fine.
TCP/IP takes 3 minutes and 35 seconds to initialize on boot up or if I
reset the connection.
I have a 10/100 card and have set the speed to 10, no help.
Looking in event viewer, I can't see anything taking that long to
initialize.
Are there any log files I could peruse to gain more information?
