I have come across this problem as well. The installed network card is an
Accton EN1207F Series PCI Fast Ethernet. After the automatic windows update,
the driver installed is "ADMtek AN983 10/100Mbps PCI Adapter". The driver is
unable to load and the network drops off.
I've manually gone into windows update and chosen not to show this update,
but I've left automatic updates off for the moment (heading into a weekend,
the customer won't be impressed if the network drops off).
I phoned Microsoft, but was told I'd have to risk a $270 fee to resolve the
problem...
