I see tons of those too, from my dialup customers using Win 2000.  It
happens because Microsoft in its infinite wisdom made dynamic DNS updating
the default setting. Tell your Win 2000 users on your network to do the
following:

o Right click "My Network Places".
o Right click "Local Area Connection".
o Select "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)".
o Click "Properties".
o Click "Advanced".
o Select "DNS" tab.
o Remove checkmark from "Register this connection address in DNS".
