Subject: Intermittent network device failure.

We have a linux router that provides rate limiting traffic shaping and 
various other neat stuff. It seems that after about 45-60 minutes the 
network interface goes down for incoming traffic only. The device stays 
down anywhere from 3-10 minutes, then comes back up like nothing has 
ever happened. We are currently using the 2.4.20 kernel (expieranceing 
the same issues on 2.4.18) have reinstalled the operating system 
(debian), replaced network cards (intel, netgear, realtek) and even the 
motherboard... all to no avail. One shimmering glimpse of light seems to 
have occured when we disabled tiny packets from entering the network. 
All other irrevelant services have been disabled probably taking care of 
any DoS. The server has plenty of processor power and memory to handle 
the task. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
