And what messages are displayed when this occurs? Network timeout? If a timeout, what timed out?

- 4 megs ram

This is a 64-bit machine and OS?

- Windows Server 2003 r2

This is the OS on the Thinkcenter? What else is the server doing?

Does ipconfig /all have the expected output?

How is this machine connected to the LAN and the internet?

The other thing to ask here is does this happen at specific Times over the day or is it just random?
