Default Network connection slow...?

Hi all, I've recently been working on an old ME machine, works fine.

However when the computer first loadds up and logs into the user, if I try
loading up internet explorer it tells me that page is not available.

It's connected to a network via ethernet.

The same problem happens in Outlook express

BUT if I leave it for about two mins it then works! - Very fast and normal.

I thought it might be the client's DHCP server taking a long time to get an
ipaddress, but if as soon as it loads up it already has a dynamically
assigned ip address. (cmdipconfig)

My only thought is that the components to control TCP/IP are not loaded? and
then 30seconds or a minute later it works.

All in all it takes about 3 mins before i can start using the internet.

Not a major problem, i just wondered if it's possible to change the startup
order of windows services...

?

TIA

Dan Walters
