Sure enough, I apparently have a Realtek device as well. But swapping motherboards is absolutely not an option for me... Surely there's something that can be done!

Here's the output of lshw -C network:

Which network device are you using?

when it happens, do a
dmesg|tail
on the server. Anything interesting there?

I had a similar symptoms which turned out to be caused by the Realtek device on my motherboard and the driver in my Linux distro. (and when I fixed that by using another driver, my machine was still not stable so I swapped the motherboard out for an older one - that's when I found I also had a faulty sata data cable... Just be warned that problems don't always come alone)

    Greetings all; I really hope someone can help me.  I recently upgraded
    to the most recent version (from a year-old version) of Samba, on a
    server now running on Ubuntu Server Jaunty Jackalope x64.  After
    upgrading, whenever I play large media files on my Vista machine
    streamed from the Samba server, the networking functionality on the
    server drops out.  Sometimes it happens after playing a video for 2
    minutes, sometimes it takes 2 hours.  After it drops out, running
    /etc/init.d/networking restart on the local terminal restores
    networking
    functionality.  Rebooting also has this effect.  This never happened
    before I upgraded, so I doubt it's a hardware problem.  I see the
    following in the log for the computer the video was being viewed on:

    [2009/07/29 01:13:21,  0] lib/util_sock.c:write_data(1136)

    and the following in log.nmbd:

    nmbd/nmbd_become_lmb.c:become_local_master_stage2(395)
     *****

     Samba name server DITE is now a local master browser for workgroup
    WORKGROUP on subnet 192.168.1.200

     *****

    Any ideas?
