Look at the output of netstat -i, if the Ierrs and Oerrs are increasing then there are problems with dropped packets:

# netstat -i
Name  Mtu  Net/Dest      Address        Ipkts  Ierrs Opkts  Oerrs Collis Queue
lo0   8232 loopback      localhost      12221653 0     12221653 0     0      0    
hme0  1500 lonu0096      lonu0096       224065794 0     220192192 0     0      0   

If there are, then check using ndd that card is not operating at half duplex whilst plugged into a 100Mbit full port. A common Solaris problem.
