This doesn't necessarily mean it's a network problem.

So let's get back to the basics. Have you ensured that the NIC you are using is the first in the order of preference (under binding order)? You can find this under properties of Network Neighborhood, Advanced, Advanced Settings. What is your Exchange profile setup to use? GAL first? Contacts first? Or Personal Address list? Do these all exist?

When it locks up, can you ping the exchange server w/o any issue? If you can't ping it, then you may indeed have network/infrastructure issues.
