I've never seen this be anything but a network issue. Switch, hub, network card in the server, etc. Once I had a UPS go bad where it dropped one AC cycle and the network switch wouldn't reboot or register a problem but would lose packets in transit. Just the machines in one building were disconnecting so it pointed to a common network issue. You would want to check the hardware associated with the server if all client machines started showing symptoms.
