can't locate local ip and startup delay

[note from moderator -- the topic of this thread shifts below to a discussion of slow startup times for DirectRT v2010 when launched from within MediaLab]

I am running a csv file (dot-probe task) in direct rt (Version 2006.2.0.28) via media lab (Version 2006.2.39). The task will freeze up (light purple screen, no error messages). It most frequently freezes at the start of the task, but often also freezes midway through the task. When this happens, sometimes a data file with partial or no data is exported, but sometimes no data file is exported at all. The files are stored on a network drive, however both media lab and direct rt are saved onto the computers directly. The problem that we are having happens on all machines running the program and we have re-installed direct rt and media lab on all machines. We use media lab for other tasks and questionnaire batteries, and it only regularly freezes when we run a direct rt csv file through it. Any thoughts?
