Yes this is certainly a theory.  Although I though win2k clients (not 
server) were capable of doing this??

I *do* have one win2k server running but it is completely off in it's 
own land (all by his lonesome in his own subnet); I do not administer 
the machine though as it is used for our voice network (not my cup o' 
java).  AFAIK that machine is not even in the same workgroup.

Is there some easy means by which to tell if there is a stray WINS 
server out there?
