Is it possible that the network driver on your boot device is just out of 
date (i.e. buggy) or that the firmware (hard drives, controllers, network 
adapter, etc) on the server with the problem just needs updating?

While we're on the topic... how did you get the windows bare metal restore 
to work?  I was able to get a complete filesystem restore to run but 
couldn't make the server boot into that restored windows after that.
