I had problems when I was the only system on my net in the sense that
I just left my ethernet card (3com503) unconnected.  After running for
a few hours, I could no longer log in and it seemed to have other
problems, also.  (I forget the details, it was a long time ago.)
After I connected a tee connector with a pair of terminators, problems
went away.  (As to why I want to have a network if I'm the only one on
it, my machine is a portable, and when I'm at the office, I am not
alone.)

It sounds like your problem is more complex than this, but this may be
part of it.
