I used to have the same problem with FreeBSD and OpenBSD boxes I used. 
after 30-60 min, the system stop responding for any incoming traffic. 
No error message recorded (/var/log/messages or anywhere).

I fixed the problem by playing around with the ethernet cable (and ethernet port on the switch - we use cheap netgear 8 port switch). Somehow after changing the ethernet cable + changing the port on the switch, it works without any problem. 

You might want to try to use another ethernet cable. I have no idea why/how, but it does work on me.

Good luck,
