It looks to me like the computer may be waiting for DHCP to allocate network setting.
The default DHCP timeout is 300 seconds which is an odd value. If DHCP is going to work it should complete quickly. If DHCP can't complete then waiting 300 seconds doesn't really add any value.
Depending on your set up, there are things to try to eliminate DHCP as being a cause.
1) Investigate DHCP operation - this would be my preference but will require time and effort in diagnostics like checking logs, changing the default settings, checking your wifi adaptor etc. If you have limited time to spend, this may not suit you.
2) If it is in a fixed environment, give the machine a fixed network setting to eliminate DHCP as being the cause.
Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by your a) and b) routes.
