Erratic access to network resources from service

I have a service running under the LocalSystem account in a Win2K domain.
It accesses network resources (shares and named pipes) on other computers in
the domain. The majority of the time this works fine, but frequently the
service starts getting access denied (error 5) on the network resources.
Ten minutes later it may start working again. I've not yet determined a
pattern as to what triggers this situation.

When things are working correctly, I see the expected logins from
domain\computername$ in the security log of the servers. When things are
broken, I see anonymous logins from the computer where my service is running
in the security logs of the servers.

Is there anything my service can do when it gets the access denied errors to
refresh the credentials of the computer running the service? Any other
ideas as to what may be going on?
