have an Intel NIC on a FreeBSD 4.3 box (actuallly 3 boxes with same
setup - cards and all)

other two boxes are fine...  third is intermittant.

Works fine on botup, but will occasionally fall asleep and not respond
to requests.
initiating requests from the machine seems to wake things up and then
other machines pick it up again (best way to explain it)

Am all but ready to blame it on the NIC and try replacing it.  Just
recently switched IP blocks though  (changed class C) so could have
missed something in the changeover that is causing this.

ideas?

TIA

Dave
