	I presume you've tried (RESTART.ETHER) and looking at the trace
you get with (PUPTRACE T) turned on?  Loss of every other packet sure
sounds like a software problem to me.  
	If you really suspect hardware, you could trade the Options board
(1108) or IOP board (1186) with another machine and see if that helps.  (These
are the boards with the ethernet hardware.)  Note that swapping IOP boards
swaps ethernet addresses, so you want to switch 'em back when you're through.
