this troubles me for sometime and i was wondering whether other people have 
seen this before:

i have a machine running freebsd which occasionally disappears from the 
network (i.e cannot ping, telnet hangs ..) if i log in from console and "kick" 
it's ethernet interface (ed0) by pinging something  or even tcpdump on the 
interface and all connections/pings resume util the next time (after a couple 
hundred pings)

i have tried the following:
cabling (used its ethernet cable with other machine -ok)
booting it from different slices/ with different kernels in each slice 
(2.2.[67])
changed the card itself with a known to work one
checked whether the machine was suspended (apm) -no

but the symptoms are the same

any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
Panos
