Questions like this kill me, almost all the time a simple
reboot will solve the problem. Things you can try

1. try to uninstall that clock software and see if things
work. ( i dont think thats it but try it anyway)

2. Try to sure the ping command when you think that the
network go's down

3. Test the networks card and cables - make sure the
cables a plugged in and working conditions. make sure you
have the right and up to date drivers for your NIC

4. Goto Start - Run - and enter \\computername
this is a fast way of connecting to a networks.

5. make sure your Hub or if router is good

6. And finally "event management" at event view will give
you a little discription of whats wrong

IF ALL ELSE FAILS REBOOT
