Oh right, I'll give that a try the next time it happens. Indeed, it 
could be a problem with my LAN driver, but the problem is I don't want 
to go ahead and perform Windows update since my proxy connection won't 
allow me to, and also the last time I did them, through a direct 
wireless connection, it mucked up my display driver such that I had a 
ghost one and some Vista features, like sleep/hybernate and display 
brightness, disappeared! Thanks for the help, greatly appreciated.
