I did that too. According to MS my drivers did not have any security updates (if that can be trusted) I have 7 other Dell servers running MS W2K and none of those are having issues. But only 2 of those 7 have the the Broadcom NetXtreme card.
As a further backup I still have the two original 10/100 ports that came with the system. If I can (over the weekend that is) I may activate one of those instead of my Bbroadcom and see if the errors go away. Let me know what you discover.
