Total freeze when unplugging the internet cable while surf..

Windows XP Pro, SP2
Notebook (Fujitsu-Siemens, Amilo Pro)

Hi,
Please help me in this problem:
- if i unplug the internet cable while connected to the internet (DSL
provider), the computer totally freezes and the only solution is to
hard-reboot

This didn't happen when using another notebook and with XP Pro SP1 and the
same connection software and DSL provider/driver; in that case, the
unplugging didn't cause any disturbance apart from stopping the connection.

Is there any setting to solve this?
Or is it related with the type of the connection driver?

Thanks!

Radu
