Hi,

I had the same trouble since 1.0 (at least) . I had finally changed my two 
realtek nics by a compaq quad nic, and for two month I have NO trouble to 
reports.
PS :I do not use the pooling nic feature, since it make cpu temperature 
rising up strongly  on my old pIII and finally freeze my m0n0.
