Hi OregonSteve-

Windows XP has a caching feature that makes the SET logonserver variable a
less reliable test for secure channel info. If, after looking at the
NETDIAG test I mentioned, you do not see any enlightening info appear, you
may want to capture the network traffic of a client exhibiting the problem
and a separate capture of the problem not occurring in order to compare the
two.
