This is a problem with missing DNS (Domain Name Server) information. After that OS X will also probably loose time on Resync time (if you use a time server on the net). Without DNS info some application will work (those who resolve IP by themselves) some wont. That is why on the Network Preferences the DNS filed is marked (Optional). It is truly optional in some case :-}.
Internet access will be erratic (Server not found, lost connection, etc etc) if your ISP do not provide DNS info automatically (hence validating the Optional DNS field).

So you have to ask your ISP provider the DNS info and put it into Network Preferences.

Another point is when you use Automatic: it helps to raise the port you are using to connect as #1 in the list (OS X scans the ports in sequence respecting the order you has indicated. Just grab the port and move it up).

Hope that helps.

If not these two Apple doc explain in details:

delay on initializing network

I get the same delay when I have lost my internet connection (through a cable modem). Don't know what that means, though. When it hapens, I shut down, turn off the router, and reboot the cable modem (unplug for 90 sec, and let it finish startup). Then I turn on the router, and let it finish the startup checks. Then I turn the computer back on, and the problem is fixed.

This has to do with how you have your preferred method of connection. If you have your default connection type set for Location: Automatic when you restart, it should startup a little quicker. Depending on your connection type it will also be looking to see if you're already connected.Good luck!
