Network intermittently losing routes?

OK, I'm at wit's end, and though this isn't necessarily a problem in the
Linux server, I'm lost...

1-3 times a day, all of a sudden, nothing can reach the Linux server (to
do radius authentication for dialins, to telnet in, etc) and the Linux
server (4.2 Redhat) can't reach out. Eventually it will be able to
reach outside through the gateway router, then some of the internal
hosts, and slowly they all come back up, over the course of like 10
minutes.

The network is a LAN of perhaps a dozen hosts, and several dialin
routers (Ascend, Portmaster), headed out onto the internet through a
Portmaster IRIX

Any idea whatsoever what to look for?

If I do a traceroute I either get *** from the start for direct routes
to the internal network, or if they are routed through the gateway, it
will go to the gateway before turning into all ***

I don't know where else to look to figure this out, unfortunately I
don't know enough about ethernet.

Thanks for any tips whatsoever!
