This is one of the things I suspected when I told you to look closely at
those tables. I believe that in fact, someone other box on your network
is assigning itself an IP address that is the same as the one your linux
server uses. When this happens, it's ethernet traffic will cause any
listening client to drop the ARP entry for the linux box and replace it
with the new machine's address. This will cause the client to send its
packets to the other machine, which probably doesn't know what to do
with them, and drops them silently.
If you're using DHCP, reserving that IP will do the trick. Otherwise
you'll have to track down which machine has the same IP address, and
change it.
