Do you have an antivirus program running or anything else running at startup?

What sort of internet connection does it have? Is it searching for a connection?

I bet you have a network card installed??

Set you TCP/IP for your network card to:
192.168.0.1
Submask: 255.255.255.0

That sure cure it!

Check to see if Norton Antivirus is set to scan something at startup.
