Well durn, that would have been an easy explanation
for different behavior between DHCP and manual
assignment.

That is correct, it's called hybrid or H-node.
04 reverses this (mixed or m-node resolution) and there are
GOOD reasons for using it in a small number of very large
wide-area networks.
MS machines default to h-node if you set them manually
and have no defaut if you use DHCP so it seems likely
this would be your difference.
Try "IPconfig /all" under both conditions (when it works
well and when it is slow). For WINS servers and Node
Type if they are the same there should be no difference
in NetBIOS resolution behavior.
If they still is, then we must be dealing with a fail over
to DNS or a straight DNS resolution difference.
