Hi, Mike: Not seeing that symptom here, and web searches coming up empty, so I blame you ;)
Did you make any changes to the network that might have tripped this reaction? Maybe update a server, mess with your AD, fix a typo in the server name, domain name, take an old machine offline? I've seen this on occasion when Windows decides I need a new network connection, despite the fact it's set up two ethernet connections and three wireless connections, all to the same LAN.
