When you break the rules they will eventually break you :) Microsoft was late to the TCP/IP party so it's possible some things fell through the cracks. Any reasonable Google search will have you removing underscores in your hostnames. See: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc778792%28WS.10%29.aspx And this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc959209.aspx which cautions: "Do Not Use Extended Characters Do not use extended characters in NetBIOS names, especially the underscore ( _ ) and the period ( . ). The underscore character is converted to a dash in DNS host names. For example, NTServer_1 becomes NTServer-1, leading to failure of name resolution of a name that may, in fact, be recorded in the DNS files."
