Hmmm, possibly *some* package is doing some lookup on the network. A good to
start to identify this package is to check what it's trying to connect to.
Maybe you can try to start emacs using 'strace', and see what it's waiting
for?
What happens if you bring down the network interface?
Good luck,
Dirk.
