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.
