Cluster problems?

Every now and then (about once a week) our SQL server cluster
(active/passive) becomes unresponsive, and the following events are logged:

During this time, connections are terminated and SQL server does not allow
legitimate accounts to log in. it last for a couple of minutes. The server is
clearly not overloaded, and it doesn't have any specific jobs or anything to
do at this time. I would like to exclude network problems too, because the
machine is otherwise responsive and fine. it's just the SQL server service
that seems to "take a nap". Has anyone seen this before? Win2k3 Ent, SQL 2000
Ent.
thanks

I forgot one thing, Win2k3 has SP1, and SQL server has SP3 applied.
