I think I finally have this machine fixed. It has run close to 8 hours of repeated testing with no symptoms or BSOD. Here are the details if anyone else has suffered this same problem.

Symptoms: BSOD on restart or upon enabling/disabling the Local Area Connection. Occurs randomly but usually around the time you log on or off or disable the internet connection using this on-board 10/100 Ethernet adapter. FIX: Download the updated driver and install.

Just opened my comp and had this problem (took me 4 attemps to be able to load windows). I'll try to update my ethernet driver

As this is an XPS notebook, you should post this in the XPS Portable - General Hardware
board, this one is for Dimension posts.
