Is the network card built in or is it a PCMCIA thingie?  This sure
smells of a hardware fault.  If it's a PCMCIA card, unplug it and plug
it back in.  If it's built-in, I'd try to reseat your memory cards in
the machine.  They're usually available under a cover somewhere on the
bottom of the system.
