Hi..SA's

My machine SS5 with Sun OS 4.1.3 started giving this message.
I can identify from which machines the packets are coming from
by the ethernet address.

le0: Receive: giant packet from 8:0:20:c:e8:c4
le0: Receive: STP in rmd cleared

le0: Receive: giant packet from 8:0:20:11:b6:63
le0: Receive: STP in rmd cleared

What is the solution for this..
Does this effect the Network speed?

My observation is things became very slow.
rlogin to another machine in the same network takes about a
minute.
Also when i try to rlogin from a different machine on to this machine
some times i get a error like

Read error from network: Connection timed out
Connection closed.

Any help/suggestions will be of great use.

Thanx in advance.
