Losing network shares across multiple machines on Windows 2003

I am running Windows Server 2003 R2 SP1 on a domain with approximately
50 users all with Windows XP SP2. There is a domain controller and a
backup domain controller. Periodically throughout the day random, but
only one at a time, XP machines will lose access to the network shares
while all other machines can continue to happily use the network.
Network shares map to more than just one file server - ie, drive X
will map to computer1 while drive Y will map to computer2. The user
will lose access to ALL network shares. They will still be able to
ping the computers by IP address or computer name, but the shared
drive will say that it cannot connect and using the UNC name in
explorer will fail. Once the share stops working the machine will be
unable to connect to any machines through explorer. No machines will
appear in my network places. Everything is fine once the computer has
been rebooted, but it still might fail later in the day. Nobody likes
this solution. On the servers, absolutely nothing is noted in the
event viewer. On the client, it just notes which activity failed - ie,
failed to write to a file that was open, etc. I think it usually gives
an event id of 1005, but I'm not sure how important that is. It
changes depending on what was open or trying to be performed.
Thanks in advance!
