Strange bugs
Sometimes you really don't expect things to interact quite the way they do. For example, the latest drivers on the Marvell Yukon Gigabit Ethernet controller and Java. Yes, run a Java application with the 8.xx drivers and at some point as the application (Eclipse updating or Azureus) your machine will lock up it's Ethernet interface. I had to go back to the 6.23 drivers for the ethernet interface and make sure Windows Update wasn't going to update them to get a reliable connection again. Quality drivers there....

I have the same problem with Eclipse Updates locking up the network connection. See Eclipse comment 33 on bug 101575 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=101575#c33) for a workaround. it worked for me for most cases.
Thanks for that Matt. When I updated the box recently, I let the driver update and then did as the workaround suggested and upped the recieve/transmit buffers, and it all works. Hussah!
