Mostly depends on what plug-ins are active. Most of them check on start-up if the network is enabled and when not the plug-in is running. The solution is to rewrite all the plug-ins to handle the network connection in a thread or with a select. Not a small task. Of course, getting a reliable network connection is another option :-). Wonder if you can identity which plug-in is causing the problem, this can be done by turning off the firewall and commenting out the plug-ins to see which one or ones make the system unresponsive? Starting with all of them to see if it is a core problem.
