Just a guess, not at all knowing how you connect to networks, but ...
Sometimes the "Automatically detect settings" option being selected that can
cause delays like that (IE/Tools | Internet Options | Connections Tab | LAN
Settings button). You might want that selected if sometimes you use ethernet
and sometimes you use dialup (such as with a notebook/laptop or if using a
multiple ethernet adapter machine), but if you're only on a LAN or a
broadband connection (ethernet) then network things usually initialize
faster if you have that option disabled. Initialization problems with DHCP
or DNS can cause delays. Maybe changing the order of DNS entries provided by
your ISP (if manually assigned) might help.
