.......If I stop the process the system restarts.

this clearly means this is an system process. the main issue is actually with any other program which is using this svchost.

Please paste a HijackThis log here.

The same problem happened to me too. It was caused by malware that infected my computer through pen drive. I formatted and reinstalled XP.

The same problem was with me when i install xp sp2.I installed Zonealarm firewall + Avast 4.8 and i work fine. Avast in boot time scan ,detected 2 viruses & eleted them but still i had some prob with my network. When the malware tried to access my network , zonealarm blocked it and i work fine .You can try that.
