One other possibility that I've seen is that your network interface is 
experiencing lots of errors. Try netstat -I.

If you see lots or errors, it could be that autonegotiation isn't 
working correctly. You may need to hard set it on 10/100 interfaces. 
You can do that with ndd. Check out 
<http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-2348-10?q=hme> for more info, if for 
example, you have an hme interface.

The suggestion of net booting is also a good one to try out.
