Network-related freezing with 7.1

I have this weird issue with my LC III running 7.1. After I first power it on, whenever an app opens a network connection (Network Time updating the clock or Fetch connecting to my FTP) the system will lock up. Guaranteed. Once I reboot from that, it won't happen again until I shutdown, no matter how many times I reboot.

I thought at first it might be related to DHCP so I set the LC III's IP manually but it still happens. I'm using Open Transport. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Adding a PRAM battery fixed this. Guess it was one of those weird side-effects of not having one.
