A friend of mine ran into this problem when using Bittorrent to download several files at once. Is it possible that someone on your network is doing this?
His router has either 32 or 64 megs of RAM (can't remember which, I set it up a while ago) and we fixed the problem by adding the following into one of the network scripts: echo 65000 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_conntrack_max It didn't seem to have any negative impact to the system, which has been running for months subsequently. Of course, if you're not using P2P, it's probably worth investigating.
