Hi, Just to add to the pool.
I have just diched a clone server based on a Asus PR-DLS533 dual Xeon board with everything on-board, including two Intel gigabit NICs. I have had bluescreens with this setup but also failing network connections. When "the problem" occured I could ping 127.0.0.1 but not any other server on the other side of the swich. This Asus board has two fifferent Inten NICS, changing those did not help, nor did switching to another port on the LevelOne switch. This problem would occur a few times a day or days appart, no common cause found.
