My first thought, since you mentioned possibly bad hardware, is that an 
Ethernet cable or connection has gone bad.  Notice that most of the 
errors occurs on the receive side.

Have you updated Red Hat 8.0 using something like apt-rpm or yum?  Oops, 
I guess network problems would make that difficult.

Why did you go with Red Hat 8.0?  Why not 9.0?  Why not Fedora Core 2?
