It appears that the Ethernet connection response slows in a shorter time then the console login. So I changed out the SMC 83c170 Ethernet board that uses the tx0 driver with an Intel Ethernet board that uses the fxp0 driver. I ran a test over the three day weekend and the problem appears to have disappeared. I'll confer back on this latter after we have more cook time on it. In the mean time it appears that the problem Synopsys needs to be changed to : SMC 83C170 Ethernet controller using tx driver slows and stops machine after days of Ethernet traffic.
