System Crashes when networked

I am running XP on an MSI motherboard with built in LAN port. Whenever my PC
is hooked up to the network it randomly: blue screens, reboots, says no
bootable volume in c:, etc.

I had my boot sector rebuilt, since the crashing was corrupting the disk.
It will not crash if not hooked up to the network. This started as a once a
week event, and plumed into a once every 15 min event over the course of a
month. What could be causing this? It references either ".dll" or ".sys"
files when it crashes. SP2 update was a nightmare. No viruses present.
 
Did you build this pc YOURSELF?

Check BIOS settings for the Network Adapter, make sure Wake on LAN is
disabled.

Have you set this BIOS as Operating SYstem Non OS2?

Go through all the BIOS settings and make sure they are correct.
