Check dmesg for anything related to your network (the hw specifically, but software could be at fault, too), before the crash occurs. (Even better if you sync-log it so you'll have it after the system crashes.) Assuming it's not your memory it is most likely the network card. You might want to check your memory with something other than memtest -- I know there have been some scripts posted to this list that claim to catch timing issues much better than memtest. -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
