Hi Matt What chipset is your PCI network card? (obviously, it not Intel, but what is it?) Do you know which driver the card is using?
You say '..The system was fine for a couple of weeks..'. At that point did you change any software - do any updates or upgrades? For instance, did you upgrade to a new build of OpenSolaris? If not, then I would guess it's some sort of hardware problem. Can you try different cables and a different switch - anything in the path between client & server is suspect. A mismatch of Ethernet duplex settings can cause problems - are you sure this is Ok. To get an idea of how the network is running try this: On the Solaris box, do an Ethernet capture with 'snoop' to a file. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2240/snoop-1m?a=view # snoop -d {device} -o {filename} .. then while capturing, try to play your video file through the network. Control-C to stop the capture. You can then use Ethereal or WireShark to analyze the capture file. On the 'Analyze' menu, select 'Expert Info'. This will look through all the packets and will report any warning or errors it sees.
