Need more information please.
How much RAM is in the host?
How much RAM is assigned to the guest?
Is 3D enabled?
Are you using 32 or 64 bit OS?
Which network adapter (NAT, Bridged, Host-only) have you selected to use in VBox?
Does the network appear to work in the guest before it hangs?
You can also look at the VBox logs to see if they show an error.

Make sure that you do not have a screen saver running in the guest. Known issue!
