Is Lan1 set as the default connection? Is it's TCP/IP properties setup to
obtain its IP and DNS addresses automatically?

There are two network connections. Lan1 and 1394 connection. They are
using comcast broadband to connect.
I tried disabeling the 1394 but it did not make a difference. We
uninstalled norton's internet security and still had the same problem.
All suggestions welcome.

It may be your network configuration. If your primary network
connection is not available when you start up your system will totally
start up until the primary network connection times out (about 1 minute)
and the systme tries another network connection. This situation is very
common with users who have added a router with DHCP to their homenetwork
and their PC is still trying to logon directly to their network modem or
dial up which is no longer connected.

I am working on an HP WinXP Media Center. 512ram, less than half the
hard drive used. Ran 2 defrags and a disk scan. Ran Norton's antivirus
and Windows defender.
Shut off every thing I could in config sys. and the registry. Made sure
that nothing was in the start up folder.
Still from when the desk top starts to load and then finally loads is
over a minute. during that period of time there are two dead areas one
of 15 seconds and another of 10 sec. that there is no activity.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
