Looks like Ethernet problems to me. Can you try setting the Ethernet
link to 10 Mbit/s half duplex? 100 Mbit/s half duplex? (I have seen
Ethernet autoconfiguration cause major problems in the past).
Use the ethtool command with the -s flag to play around with this: man
ethtool for more details. But I'd recommend:
ethtool eth0
to see current settings,
ethtool -s eth0 [speed 10|100|1000] [duplex half|full] [autoneg on|off]
It might yet be dodgy cables.
Hope this helps,
James.
