Any other devices on your network?  Any linux machines running Samba?

I've seen this kind of thing happen on my network when a Samba server
assumes the 'master browser' role ... and screws things up.

In my case, I know it's a configuration problem on the the Samba server
(that I haven't gotten around to fixing).  The end result was that none
of my windows systems (xp in this case) could see each other.
