One thing that strikes me though, is Windows uses DNS SRV records to locate services and populate variables. The naming scheme is fairly convoluted and Windows centric. On a Windows box use network monitor to capture what the box is trying to do. If you see it doing a lot of look ups for SRV records and failing it might be something to investigate. The network monitor version that ships with the desktop will only grab traffic for that particular machine, but is enough for the purpose. The version that comes with the server is able to promiscuously examine all traffic. -Mike
