You can "solve" the symptom by doing a tcpdump. Since I know next-to-nothing about networking in-depth, my solution is that every hour or so, I have a cron job run 'tcpdump -c 10'. This has kept the box from dropping off the network, at the cost of getting an email every hour. The box that this is happening on is a backup server, and it will only happen while the backups are being run, so I suspect that there is some error related to heavy load on the network. If anyone _does_ solve this, or can explain it, I'd love to know about it... Thanks!
