VISTA machine fails off network

[MAGICWAND]

Help!
I have occurences on two seperate Vista Business laptops where the network
just fails.
This appears as Outlook 2007 asking for the user name and password - where
the machine can not find Exchange. I am running under a Windows 2003 domain.

I cannot then restart the machine as it hangs "Logging off". After the
forced restart everything is ok until it happens again - usually every day.
XP machines never to this.

This has happened on two machines now - a HP 6400 and now a Lenovo T61.
I am a bit fed up now..

It's the net card driver. I suggest testing my assertion by reducing the
speed of the Ethernet card Properties to 10 mbps half duplex, and see if the
problem is not there.
