CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) issues can sometimes manifest as 'Network Error' in Axios within a ReactJS application, particularly if the server is not configured to allow requests from your React app's origin. While not a direct network failure, the browser's security policy prevents the request from completing, leading Axios to report a network-level problem if not properly handled on the server-side or through browser-specific workarounds.
