Probably not the cause of your problem, but if you had a network card in your computer when you installed dial-up networking (if that's what you use) the it added TCP/IP bindings to your ethernet card and set ip up to add DHCP for ip addressing. This will cause 4 1-second pauses separated by 1 second, then resume for 2 minutes without problem, then do it again and again and again... I guess it's not your problem but it gave me so much trouble when I started using win95 that I felt like talking about it...
