Doesn't sound like the same problem... AFAIK, nobody messed with the
network (I'm the only person who's not afraid of the thing). Only the one
machine disappeared, and it came back without any operator intervention. 

It hasn't happened again, so I'm not too worried about it. It always bugs 
me, though, when I come across a problem I can't figure. :-/
