Does it happen when you turn on the BL2 machine?
Or when BL2 tries to establish a network connection?

I got a new NIC a few months ago and was surprised that it
put up a message whenever the other system on the network
was turned off or turned on.  I assume it has something to
do with the routine that automatically negotiates the speed 
setting.
