Doc, sound like your server is using DHCP, or it's talking to something for 15 minutes. Well, static is the requirement for server anyway.
Can you take a look at the event viewer, and check to see if there's any network error?
I will check your post again in an hour!

LOL...it never fails to amaze me that so many people still think that a Server OS should run no different that a regular OS. You're running a Server OS and it's taking its time to load? That's normal. Don't panic. There's not a thing you can do about that. You want a faster loading OS...install Win2K Pro or Win9x.

10 to 15 minutes is not right. If a sever that takes that much time to load, then there's sth wrong. Do sth about it or you have to wait that long everytimes you reload it
