It could just simply be the act of reseating the network cables. I've had tech
support request that I unplug and replug the network cable, or switch ends,
in the past - what they're trying to do is force you to make sure the cables
are plugged in correctly.
If you're using older cards/cables, the catches on the sockets or cables can
get worn so they don't fit quite a snugly as they need to, so the vibration
from the machine can loosen them to the point you get intermittent
connections on the wires.
