You must be running OS 10.3.7 - there's a bug I've encountered which 
causes certain applications which initiate network connections at 
launch (Safari, OW, Mail, and others) to hang for up to 2-3 minutes. If 
you disconnect from the network (unplug your Ethernet cable, disable 
Airport) these applications should then launch immediately.

I logged a fairly extensive bug report with Apple at 
bugreport.apple.com, so hopefully something will get done quickly.
