Since you're running WINS, are there any static WINS entries for the domain? (1C records) I used to have people who thought you needed them to fix stupid little problems that are simple misconfigurations...
Use a Win2k or later WINS manager and do a search for registrations for the netBIOS name of your domain. See what comes back, and more importantly, what comes back marked as static... -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
