I was getting frustrated by when I checked the Cat5 cable it was a little bit loose on the NIC. This is a case where any tug somewhere on the line knocked it loose.

So I would double check with your datacenter or if you can, physically check the server yourself to see if the NIC's RJ45 cable is actually plugged in snugly and fully seated.
