SP2 Issue: Preparing Network Connections...

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We have a number of laptops that are part of a Windows 2003 domain. The
laptops have an onboard NIC and Wireless adapter. We just upgraded the
laptops to SP2. Now, there is a 2.5 minute delay before the logon box is
displayed. The "Preparing Network Connections.." screen hangs there that
long. If I disable the Wireless adapter, the delay goes away. I need to have
both adapters enabled. Never had this issue with SP1. How do we fix it?
