Something similar (but not network related) happens to me. I will use a file from my A: drive. I finish using the floppy and remove it. In explorer, the A: is still highlighted/selected/reverse video. When I click on a C: drive file or folder, I get an A: drive (Please insert a disk into drive A:) error sometimes.
Even though I don't want the floppy anymore, windows tries to access it before going to where I clicked. Perhaps windows previously accessed a network location that has become unavailable.
