Wierd problem... NIC stops responding

Hi,

I think my NIC card stops responding every now and then.. I don't know, but this is the only conclusion I can come to w/o physical access to server.

Every few days, I won't be able to ping/tracert my server. It stops on the last hop. I have to reboot it via a remote APC port.

After it comes up, I check the logs and there is nothing weird at all. THe last thing in /var/log/messages is a server update script run as part of HSphere cron job. I'm sure this is not a problem since this script runs every few minutes and a great majority of the time, it runs fine.

I ran chkrootkit and nothing came back.

I don't believe it's an issue of server load.

Is the problem the NIC card or something else? Where can I look?

Running Redhat 7.2

Thanks
