Abit NF7 nForce2; boot hangs 40 sec. after Network connections

Configuration;

Abit NF7-S V2 (nForce2) MB w/ UDP V4.27
Fresh install of Win 2000 w/sp4
Only three USB devices hooked up; Card Reader, printer & USB2 card. NO other devices)

I removed the three USB devices (uninstalled drivers) but it made no difference.
I assign static IP address for my three computers (other two have been off)
No conflicts noted in Device Manager
Only 12 processes loaded at startup!
No virus scanner running.

After the "Preparing Network Connectiuons" box disappears, it takes 40 seconds before I see the destop! I timed it many times. On another nForce2 MB (Epox) it is a matter of only a couple of seconds after that dialog box disappears.

Questions:
1. If you disable a device in Device Manager, does Windows still load the drivers for it on next boot?
2. If so, could that still cause a issue (assuming it was a issue in the first place)?
3. If there was a IP conflict with another machine, if those other boxes were off, it wouldn't matter would it??

I don't remember having this issue before I moved this box back where it was orginally (from using it with my HD PTV to the office). The only other change is it on a different router port.

BTW, I also have FP, er, XP loaded on my 2nd bootable HDD and it hangs there also.

Any ideas??
 
I ran a boot log if this helps;

I removed the two optical drives, and the other bootable HDD and the boot time was cut in half. Still not what it should be (2-3 seconds), but now what?

BTW, I timed my other nForce2 MB (slightly older Epox) and it's only a couple of seconds between the time that 'Network connections' dialog box disappears and the desktop appears.
