L.S.

The last few days the ethernet restarts more often by itself, which results
sometimes in me losing TCP/CHAT connections.

I traced \10MB.RESTART.ETHER and sometimes it is called 10 times an hour from
\10MB.INPUT.INTERRUPT .  Is this the result of an overloaded network?  Is
there a way to figure out what causes these restarts?  Is there a way to
restart the network without losing the TCP connections (i.e. not flushing some
queues)?
