Outlook 2007 Disconnects Internet Connection
 

I have Microsoft Office 2007 Running on a fresh install of Windows XP
Pro SP2. It is connected using an Intel onboard NIC. No viruses or
spyware are present. I started a continuous ping with the ping
google.com /t command from the command line. The ping runs
continuously until I open microsoft Outlook 2007at which point all
network traffic stops completely. I can not even ping the router. I
have tried both static and dynamic IPs. I tried switching out the
network card and the router. The only way to get the computer back
online after I open Outlook 2007 is to uninstall the network card,
reboot the computer, power cycle the router, and manually set a static
IP. Then the system works until Outlook is opened again. I spent
several hours testing this problem, and I can't find anything online
about it. HELP!
