What he means is the first time an XP (maybe others) machine connects to
your server, it writes whatever the server string is at that moment to the
registry.
You can change it a hundred times on the server, but it'll never change on
the XP machine until you remove the entry from the registry, or change the
ip of the server.

Does that help?
