There is one thing.  A Warning level message received about an hour ago:

MrxSMB -- The redirector failed to determine the connection type.

The warning timestamp doesn't correspond to any of the failures from earlier
today.

I found a 3C966B that I can use to eliminate the possiblity of NIC failure.
DNS timeout related?

Other interesting tidbits of info to confuse the matter:

DHCP NBT nodetype is set to h-node (hybrid)
WINS database doesn't show all computers.  Corrupt database?  I would assume
that if NetBIOS resolution failed for samba, it would look to DNS for
resolution.
