check on win2k in winnt\system32\drivers\etc if you have hosts file and
localhost is defined?
It sounds a TCP/IP skew, M$ is notorious in giving you partial or misleading
error details,
which always costs a lot of frustration and time to track the root of
problem.

OK helpful hint I would not have known, but in fact there is a host
file in that dir
and the only entry is
127.0.0.1 localhost
so we're still baffled.
