Sorry I forgot to mention that I've removed the UTP ever since.
Anyway, I think I've got it figured out already.
When I changed my workgroup and Win 95 re-installed some network components,
my previous settings were changed - particularly the properties of File and
Printer Sharing.
The Browse Master field was set to the value of "Automatic". I changed it to
"Enabled" and logon has been fast again.
I also tried changing the value of LM announce to Yes but it slowed down the
shutdown sequence.
So far, everything's fast again. I'll observe some more to see if indeed I
stumbled upon the correct solution.
