Did you check if you are running out of mbufs on this system? (netstat -m) I had exactly the same symptom on a machine that was getting hammered by the network traffic. If it is running out of mbufs, increase the number of mbufs using the sysctl in /boot/loader.conf, reboot and watch the box to see if this fixed the problem. > It is of course unreachable through the network.

Rebooting won't help if you don't fix the source of the problem, which is the amount of network traffic your box is getting.
