I am also stumped.
If you disable the adaptive load balancing on the NICs and just run with one
NIC, does the problem go away?
The reason I ask is because I know nothing about Intel's adaptive load
balancing, so it looks suspicious to me. BUT, I also have no idea of the
ramifications or the process involved in turning that off.
I dunno. Worth a try?
Are the servers on the same subnet as the clients? If not, what's
separating them?
Tried the info at EventID.net yet?

This thread
http://www.mcse.ms/archive53-2004-1-339084.html seems to suggest
On domain master browser dig down to:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Browser\Parameters
and verify that "MaintainServerList" is set to yes
But that's where the thread ends, so it's inconclusive.
Sorry I'm not more help....
