When this happens to me, the reason is apparent. Since I have several machines and devices on two different two-hop loops (1 at 100 and the other at 1 gig,) I lose devices geographically. Normally this is caused by a switch having a brain-fart. Repeated brain-farts have been followed by hard failures for two of the three switches I've had to replace. Surge (lightning so close the phones ring) got the other one.
Try to re-power the switch. Also, early 1gig ethernet was twitchy about working on cat 5. I use only cat 6 on gig loops. P -- pski real stereo doesn't just wake the neighbors, it -enrages- them..
