I have quite the same problem but not on the second Ethernet port, it is on the first port Eth0. After many heavy data transfers CIFS or NFS, the port Eth0 "hangs" and does not response to a ping anymore until we reboot the machine.
Eth0 is a Gigabit Yukon Chip configured with a static IP 192.168.x.x and netmask 255.255.255.0.
Eth1 is an Intel Gigabit Chip configured with a DHCP IP but not connected to the network.
The motherboard of the machine is an Intel SE7520BD2 and I am using the NAS R3 Enterprise version 4.01.DB0000000-2528.
Try to see if this setting will resolve the issue. Enter to console tools-> boot options-select system architecture and choose Intel I/O AT mode then restart. Also there is a newer version for the NAS-R3 ver. 410 build 2584 please update and test as well.
Sorry we do not support updating with Pen Drives only the following ways below.
