Getting disconnected from Network

We're using Windows XP Pro on workstations and SBS2003 on the server. I have
a computer that started getting kicked off of the network. At startup, the
computer is fine and can browse any network locations, but after about 3
minutes, the Working Offline icon appears in the System Tray and I no longer
have access to the domain. I CAN however still connect to any drives that I
have setup as Mapped Network Drives, I can still browse the web, which is
being accessed through the server, and I CAN still receive email from our
server. All Windows and Microsoft updates have been applied. The other
strange thing is that at startup, right before getting kicked off the
network, I also receive the icon that updates are ready to be installed, and
when you click on the icon, it disappears. This doesn't happen at each boot,
but alot of them. I've had one other computer in the office that has had the
same thing happened. I finally got tired of searching for answers on that
machine and I just formatted the hard drive and reinstalled all software.

Any help would be appreciated.
