This sounds very similar to a problem I was having this morning.  I used the
800k installer disks to update the II I'm working on to system 7.0 (from
6.0.7), and I got the same problem you're describing.  I eventually tracked
the problem to the driver for my e-net board.  The driver seems to be 
incompatable with 7.0.  I used resEdit to delete it from the system 
file, and everything appeared to work ok (no network, though).  I'm
back at 6.0.7, since I need the network access.  

Does this problem sound familiar to anyone else?

Have a day...

John
