Just to let anyone who is interested know what appears to have been causing
the disconnection after some time on this machine. A few months back we
had DNS problems, in that machines were not being registered in the DNS. We
found the problem was due to a Service Pack 4 glitch, the fix of which was
to install two entries in the registry. (826743).
Anyway these entries had been put in, but there was a mistake on the first
entry (DNScache/Parameters). This would appear to have caused a
disconnection from the network, in fact, literally turned off the network
card, after a period of time (and I'm not sure why).
Looks cured now.
