try disabling the Windows Media Player Network Sharing service on the Windows 7 machine(s). A friend of mine suffered pretty much what you described at seemingly random times where his main machine would suddenly hang, drop network or crash. turns out it was every time someone else in his house switched on their Windows 7 laptop. after stopping the service on the laptops, he hasn't once had a hang...

worth a go. let us know.
