PE 2650 Broadcom Gigabet

I have a PE2650 server with an onboard BROADCOM NetXtreme Gigabet Ethernet card.  The network connection keeps dropping off and on.  The connection will be good for a minute or two and then will drop off for a minute or two and so on.  I have tried updating the drivers, but still get the same thing.

    How old are you PE 2650s ? 2ghz ones ?  I had that similar problem with my earlier 2650s, had to upgrade the firmware off the Broadcom NICs...  Had that on my 2550 also.  After the upgrade, haven't had problem for over 2 years...  If its the newer one, ie 2.8ghz +, that might not be the case..
     
    search forum for broadcom firmware upgrade..  you'll ned to make dos boot disc and etc..
