Then perhaps the switch is only passing broadcast/multicast traffic,  
and unicast traffic directed toward your network adapter, to your  
switch port.  It might start out working OK, but stop working after  
some amount of time.

If you have some non-WinPcap-based traffic capture tool (Sniffer,  
EtherPeek, etc.), you might try running it on the blade server and  
see what happens.
