Sounds like WinXP is doing something funky when the network config
changes. Perhaps it changes the IP address associated w/ the
workstation based on changes in the network config, or something else.
Check a couple of things:
1/ what are the contents of the hosts file? I don't know where it is
under XP, but under 2000 it was something like
/WinNT/System32/Drivers/Net/hosts
Hostnames read from the hosts file should bypass DNS and such, so
sticking with a name/IP pair in that file should alleviate your problem.
2/ Check your network config for each of the situations you described,
then compare them. I believe the command is
ipconfig /all
run from a "cmd" window.
