Try replacing the NIC card with a different model, or = from a different
manufacturer. Then you will know if it is a specific = NIC card problem or
not. Try using a different pci slot. What NIC are = you using? What
motherboard? What does ifconfig -a show?

I used to have the same problem with FreeBSD and = OpenBSD boxes I used.
after 30-60 min, the system stop responding for any = incoming traffic.
No error message recorded (/var/log/messages or = anywhere).
I fixed the problem by playing around with the = ethernet cable (and
ethernet
port on the switch - we use cheap netgear 8 port = switch). Somehow after
changing the ethernet cable + changing the port on = the switch, it works
without any problem.
You might want to try to use another ethernet cable. = I have no idea
why/how,
but it does work on me.
Good luck,
