XP Client hangs on "preparing network connections" for about 2 min

[Bort Jitus]

Hi,

I have an XP client that was working fine, but now during the boot process
it takes an extra few minutes to get past the "preparing network connections"
component during start up. This machine is a domain memeber however this
behaviour is occuring when it is connected to the domain LAN and when it's
not connected. Any ideas?

Thanks!
