I want XP to boot slower!!!!

Yes, you heard me right. I want XP to wait longer before showing the logon
dialog box.

We are having DHCP performance issues on our network. Unfortunately another
group is respoonsible for managing it and they are not that quick at fixing
problems as we are (they have more work than we do).

So if I can force XP to lag like 150 seconds before logon box, it might help
fix some of the problems I am having.

Have it list the boot sequence.

Very creative but still doesn't work. It is waiting at the wrong time.

I basically need it to wait for an IP address before continuing.

Have you looked at:
-- Control Panel | System | Advanced Tab then click on "Startup and
Recovery" "Settings" button. Set the seconds to display operating system to
150.
