Sun GE device troubles???

Hi,

I am running a Solaris 7 106541-16 server on a Ultra-80.

I am seeing a very weird issue I am not sure if the trouble is related
to the switch or my Gibabit Adapter/Software. Basically what is happening
the
network team is rebooting switches after they do this the Gigabit adapter
is no longer able to ping anything on that network even though link_status
and everything else looks good. The only thing that will correct this is
a
reboot. Even completely unplumbing the device won't work.

Has anyone come across this error?

Here is a bit about the system

        inet 151.203.120.14 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 151.203.120.255
