I don't know if this is your problem, but at the Canadian DECUS last
week some DEC people mentioned that the BI Ethernet interface, the
DEBNA, has a replacement module with many many fixes; I believe it is
called the DEBNT. In the States this upgrade is being offered free,
at least to those who have hardware maintenance (has anyone tried it
in Canada yet?). They also said that "future major functional releases"
of VMS after "the next major functional release" would cease to support
the DEBNA.
     
So even if this isn't your problem you should at least check into it.
