LAN takes long time load

[inwell]

Hi,
I have win xp(x86)SP2 installed for many years now.
From few days i m facing this problem that my Network/LAN icon on task-bar (right side near clock) takes long time to load.. clock,volume control and other few startup items load very fast..
(till it loads i cannot start surfing or pc looks like in frozen state )

what will be the reason ?

MOBO intel 845gvsr
Lan Card : onboard INTEL PRO 100/VE Network

You should upgrade to SP3, and check your computer vendor for updated drivers for the chipse and network.
