Re: Strange behavior in Windows 98 and 2000
From: Danny Pansters <danny () ricin com>

2000 and XP boxes lose TCP/IP communication and, after a reboot, they
work again.

Win XP tries to push itself as being the authoritative server of its own 
host name by attempting to transfer its zone to the (local) dns server, 
doesn't it? Erratic behaviour is always a good way to break the thing. 
I rarely use WinXP, but did note that it behaves like that. Dunno about 
W2k.
