I'm not sure if this applies, but there was a bug in 1.4 that sounds
like it might be the cause of your problems...

patch-01-in_var

  [impacts: all architectures]

  Fixes a critical bug which causes machines to erroneously respond on
  IP addresses other than their own -- this can cause a machine to be
  unable to communicate with certain hosts on the same network.

  A patch to resolve this problem is provided in
  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4/patches/patch-01-in_var.gz
