Mas90 Hangs when internet connection is lost

We have one machine that Mas90 hangs when, for any reason, our internet connection is lost.  We have 10 workstations, all are running XP service pack2, and the same Norton AV with the same configuration.  All others seem to keep running as normal.

 

The computer is clean, no virus, adware, spyware, etc.  Mas90 will completely stop working and I usually just shut the machine off until the internet comes back up.  This computer is about 6 months older than the others, and was upgraded from sp1 to sp2.

 

My only thinking is something is running in the background that requires a constant internet connection, but I can see what it would be.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    I think you're on to something with the NIC.  A year or so ago the NIC went out and I had a spare so, being strapped for time as usual, I put it in and now it has two.  Had totally forgotten about it.  In fact, having moved my office twice since then, I could very likely be connected to the twitchy card.

     

    Will start trouble shooting there.

     

    Thanks
