CLOSING NETWORK CONNECTIONS take years...

Very often when rebooting/turning off after "Saving your settings" screen
shows "Closing network connections..." then system is closing them, closing,
closing... for hours.  The only way I could stop this was to turn power
switch off/on then restart computer.  Something is going wrong but I have no
idea where for what to look to correct it.
Any suggestions/ideas?

Aloha Marek,

What kind of network?  Wired/wireless?  What kind of network adapter is it?
Do you have the latest drivers?  Are you on a domain or just a home user?
Do you have network shares that you connect to?

Home/SoHo network. Adapter: Marvell Yukon 85E8053 Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (on M/B).  Latest available drivers.  No domain. Some shares
(printers/shared drive on main computer).  Router:  Linksys BEFSX41 Firmware
1.45.3 (09/26/03) (it has a newer firmware but abt. 2 years ago after (
upgraded I had terrible problems with this router and technical support
finaly suggested that I coma beck to the older firmware).  Also, often I
have to check setting and again connect to PPoP manually.

Late comment:  on my two computers connected into small network only one
shows this problem.  Each computer has different network adapter.  So,
through logical elimination the culprit might be Linksys router.  I also
tried to upgrade the firmware to newest (1.5).  Proces didn't finish and I'm
still working with a firmware from 2003 (1.4 something).  Maybe time came to
look for something newer...
