i just got a new machine (and EISA, with a 1742) and had the exact
same problem.

one of my network cards was configured wrong, and the driver was
garbaging *something* so that (i guess) the card got into some weird
state on reboot...


you might want to double check the configurations of the other devices in
the system, just to be sure they're OK...
