>Description:
We (i am owner) and my Adminisrator have very strange and very dificult for us problem. Since several moths our server looses contact with the internet. We have ABIT KT7-RAID mainboard and Intel Ether Express 100+ network adapter.
this server temporarely looses signal and after serveral minutes, sometimes hours get back to work. In logs and problem machine there is no sign after this. Once we were able to be on the console when it happened and we ping'ed to some adress. we run tcpdump and it looked like the tcp packets got into black hole.
our server have rather big traffic (about 100000 hits a day) and this problem anoys me very much. 
it is not a problem of the network because there is 2 more servers connected to the same switch and they work. both are Free BSD too.

can you help me and my administrator with solving the problem??
please give a suggestion what can it be.
