Preparing Network Connections So Slow

Hi All
Listen ive have been around the web for says now with this issue and nothing suggested resolves my issue. WHen i reboot my windows 2003 rs domain controller it may sit at the "preparing network connections" for maybe 5 mins. I have checked everything with DNS nic's etc.

Anything i might be missing?
