Is it just me, or did Nancy Palmquist say:

That'd be my guess as well.

All that, and not a basic check to see if the computer is accessible via
ping, or at least network neighborhood, when this happens?  You already
suspect the network, why keep pounding on the fP side of things if the
layer underneath is suspect?  Waste of time.  

Cut to the chase and test the OS-level networking during a period during
which fP reports it's unavailable.
