I just bought the SAME server and I am having the SAME issue. I use the server as a gateway server only. It happens to me randomly also. I have not put any new NICS in yet, I have been doing other things to troubleshoot the server. I updated the Broadcom Nic drivers and it happened to me about 2 days later (server not responding). The thing is the OS will still work, but I couldn't surf the net, couldn't ping any Internal or External Servers nothing. So once I reboot it will start working properly for a random amount of DAYS! I called Dell and they were really no help, next step is to put a 3Com in the server and go from there. If you find anything out on your server let me know, and I will do the same.

I did have Dell's OpenManage Server Admin running. I stopped all services related to that. Other then that there is nothing else running on the box. Only the minimum, necessary services are running.
