Your symptoms are those of Ethernet problems. For example, never
allow full duplex Ethernet to be used unless you are positive that the
other end of the wire as well as your end supports Ethernet PAUSE frames
properly. Many systems fail right there; use half duplex, lock the speed.
Autonegotiation is a wonderful way of causing big troubles.
Also, all lan adapters are not equal. Some are quite a bit worse
than others, and reveal their true nature under load. Some merely have
personalities to be worked around. Rather than dealing with an open ended
question such as "tell us all about that" I won't. Instead tend to your
particular gear or let me know of details.
Finally, Ethernet wiring is intolerant of mistakes. If in doubt
get a commercially made cable.
