are you sure, that it hangs up when started and connected to the LAN????, In my experience there could be either of ther or both...
1) The fstab entry has misleading entry for swap space or swap FS is corrupted, in this case correct the entry in "/etc/fstab" while if swap space is corrupted delete and rebuild it.
2) Your system is configured to get IP and a few other details from the DHCP through LAN, do it manually and give it fixed IP and other details etc.
hope that this could be of some help.

Bimal Pandit
