More VAX troubles - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
 The only problem now, is that the computer crashes
whenever IP traffic goes
...
 beyond simple pinging or a few lines of telnet. The NIC
is a DECNA (DEQNA?),
...
 and reseating it doesn't seem to solve anything. It
is possible to ping it

Must be running netbsd.  The DEQNA is the older of the Qbus NICs and it's
ok if
working.  If you can find a DELQA which was a newer version that would be
better.
Both can be found as networked vaxen were not unusual.

...
 What could be wrong this time? Should the card or the
OS be replaced, and how
...
 uncommon are these NICs? I could need another one for
the plain MicroVAX II.

If the OS is Netbsd then look into the version your running.  If VMS
theres something
going on, hard to guess what.
