Strange behavior

We have 16 desktops in our computer lab. Every 4 units are connected to a
switch .
Today we had a situation where 2 computers on the same switch authenticated
but when we try to access network resources , we get a message that the
domain controller is inaccessible. We did a restart on the computers and thy
work fine.
What causes a desktop to not be seen by the domain controller?
Could the lease and renew comfit in DECO cause this behavior?
