I am still subscribed, but unfortunately don't have good ideas with regard 
to your problem. The networking itself doesn't seem to be the trouble. 
Either it's some kind of resource problem, or a crucial service has died. 
Have you tried enabling the syslog? What else have you tried to get an 
overview of the available/used resources?

If nothing else, you can join Haiku development in the meantime! :-) There 
is hope.

Best regards,
