outgoing network packets going crazy!

I have two nics on my sql box. The first being a gig nic for internal networking which works fine.
The second nic however is not doing so well. It works great for a couple of hours then all of a sudden it starts sending packets out at a alarming rate. This behavior will eventually hose our entire internet in the building. The only solution at this poin
t is to reboot the sql box and everything is released at that time.
Do you have the latest service pack on there? Sounds like may be slammer:

|||Roland, to verify you have SP3 or SP3a installed, what does "select
@.@.version" return?
