Pawel, DRAC5 has a limitation on the broadcast packets it can receive on the network per second. Can you tell us if the DRAC is in a network where there are multiple broadcast packets? If the number of broadcasts are very high on the network, the network stack on the DRAC5 goes down and the DRAC may behave in an undefined way.
