Then it may be interesting to know that there is something
architecture-specific, or perhaps machine-specific, involved in causing
it.  My main home machine is a SPARC IPX, and occasionally when
switching windows (which causes a big but brief spike of network
traffic, much internal to the machine but some off-machine) I'll get
the NMBCLUSTERS gripe...but aside from that there is no visible effect;
the machine certainly doesn't "fall off the network".
