Two Networked Computers Go Down Together

I have two computers networked with MS network features. One runs W2000 and the other XP Pro. Recently, both have died simultaneously twice, and then booted up to the start up screen. Any ideas about what caused that? As far as I can tell, there were no outages in the house and out building where the two reside. They are separated by 100' of ethernet cable.

I don't think it's caused by an XP auto software update. This XP computer rebooted last night for an update, and the other one was steady.
