Mike, check your AD's DNS. You probably have multiple A records with the
same IP's.

COMPUTER01 - 10.0.0.5
COMPUTER02 - 10.0.0.5

When in reality, your DHCP is probably correct, like:

COMPUTER01 - 10.0.0.6
COMPUTER02 - 10.0.0.5

If you try to remotely manage an XP system via name from the AD Users and
Computers tool, and DNS directs you to the wrong IP, based on DNS...you see
exactly what you describe.

Hope that helps,
