Computer will continue to reboot whenever the network cable is plugged in!

I've actually got 2 laptop's here at work that will not boot up properly with the network cable plugged in.

The network cable can only be plugged in after the desktop comes up...after that, most of the network connectivity seems to be fine....but if I need to restart the machine...the network cable has to come out...or the system will simply go into a rebooting cycle....

Any ideas? Thanks.

Disable boot from LAN in the bios?

How does it reboot? Just power itself off or does it display some kind of message?
