Long pause at network initialization

[David Boag]

I just did a new install of OS 10.2.6 on my parents' G4 350 MHz 
Sawtooth (upgrading them from OS 9), and it is running particularly 
slowly because they don't yet have enough RAM (only 128 MB), which is 
being rectified. The other problem though is that at startup, there is 
literally a 75 second pause at network initialization. Anyone have any 
thoughts on why? I have a similar machine, and mine doesn't do it. BTW, 
they have a cable modem hooked up (I have DSL), and they have a NIC to 
give them an Appletalk network at the same time.

Thanks.
