Does your system try to boot from LAN, first? You should be able to check
this setting in the BIOS.

Sounds like you have your startup options set to start from the network
first. Check your computer's user manual and/or the support Web site for
instructions on how to change the startup sequence to start from something
other than the network first and that should speed things up.
