Even though hot-swapping the connection doesn't physically/hardware electronically hurt the machine, LOGICALLY it gets, "lost". It happens here at my house.
If for some reason I unplug one of the 8500s here, (there are three PeeCees and six Macs on the network), and re-connect it, it won't acknowledge the connection. Instead of re-booting, try resetting the TCP/IP settings to something else, doesn't matter what, as long as it's different than what you actually need, and save it. Next, go back into TCP/IP and change it back to what you really need. That should do it. Might have to trash the TCP/IP preferences, can't remember.
