FWIW, I had a similar problem with losing access. It's a long story
but after I finally got my new switch in place I noticed the LAN
activity light for the port connected to my m0n0wall was flashing
continuously whenever I lost "connectivity". End result, my D-Link
DFE-530TX+ went chatty on me. I pulled it and replaced it with a 3Com
3c905tx NIC and everything has been great ever since.
