I don't know if I'm helping by adding my two cents, but here goes:

I have a digital Server 3300 (Noritake) that had exactly the type of
problems you describe -- network traffic would eventually lock the machine
up. I fiddled around with NIC drivers, but without success.

Then, people on this list (Thanks Kurt!) suggested that the Noritakes could
be a little buggy with the stock kernel and that I should recompile. I
recompiled the kernel and haven't had a system lockup since. It's been
three months, where before I couldn't go 15 minutes (using the network)
without locking up!

My solution may or may not help you (with your different architecture).

Keep trying and good luck!
