Can you ctrl-alt-delete the machine to reboot?  Can you switch to
virtual terminals? (In X it is Ctrl-Alt-F1)  Does this happen with other
protocols?  Could you set up a similar transfer using wget or lynx or
something like that?

If nothing in that list comes up unusual, what network and video card
are you using?  What IRQ are they using?
