You need to find out more about when and why they hang. If it's completely at random it could be tha machines themselves or dodgy power to the building.

If you think it's down to the network you need to do more homework on when it happens and why - accessing particular files, opening a browser or what? What cures it can be a clue too - can you shut down ther affected app or is the hardware crashed too? The latter would suggest power or hardware faults.
