Have an ethernet card (NIC) installed ?  if so, do you have TCP/IP bound to
it ? if so, do you have a static IP address asigned to it ? if not, that is
probably the culprit. WIN9x by definition will wait for a DHCP server to
assign an IP address, unless a static one is manually assigned. If no
server, then the system will wait before going on. If you do not have these
components, I suggest you analyze with msconfig.exe for offending programs
being loaded at startup.
