I had a similar problem , when I had a particular version of solaris install on a HP Server with a Intel NIC, the entire network of HP Server running NT Serof ver 4.0 would totally freeze , i..e no mouse movement, nothing.... NT Server running on other platform works fine... I would suggest that most of the time, this is beyond us mere mortal network engineers and refer back to the vendors since it's most likely due to NIC drivers issues... Connecting a sniffer to the network shows absolutely nothing out of the ordinary....
