Maybe a fix
Have you ever had the box connected to a network? If so, or not, the problem maybe in your network settings. Ensure that the computer is not attempting to log on to a network at startup. You should also check to make sure you internet connection settings are as they should be. Oh yes, if you are using MSN as an ISP you may need to check the "preferences" to make sure that it (IM) isn't trying to open a page even when you're not logged on.
I am not really sure that any of the above will fix your problem. I work best with the "box" in front of me. If none these things help, please post again with more details. Sorry.
One more thing, make sure that you have downloaded all applicable service packs, updates, and security patches.
