Norton Ghost 14 backup stops network device

I just posted another problem with Norton Ghost 14 regarding automatic backups, but there is another problem I'm noticing which I figured I would put in another thread.

 

Each time I backup my windows XP desktop (clean install) with Norton Ghost 14 (manual backups as my automatic backups aren't yet working), the network stops working.  The only remedy is to reboot the computer and networking returns... until I run another backup.


Anyone else having problems with Realtek on-board network adapters, or is there something I need to enable/disable to get it to work properly?  I have the latest drivers available (12/2008) and the actual device being reported in Device Manager is Realtek RTL8168C(P)/8111C(P) PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC.

 

Many Thanks,

GL
