How does this happen? 1

Hi Forum,
I'm toying around in a test network that has 3 machines: two Win2003 Domain Controllers and one Win 2K client. The first DC also serves DHCP to the client.

Everything was fine until I booted the second DC. Then the client's Event Viewer (System log) filled up with this error:

Event Id 4319
A duplicate name has been detected on the TCP network. The IP address of the machine that sent the message is in the data. Use nbtstat -n in a command window to see which name is in the Conflict state.

nbtstat -n tells me:
TestClient <00> Unique Registered
TestDomain <00> Group Registered
TestClient <03> Unique Registered
Testclient <20> Unique Registered
TestClient$ <03> Unique Registered
TestDomain <1E> Group Registered
Administrator <03> Unique Registered

I cleared the clients event files and rebooted the client off the network and it regenerated the errors. Seems to be related to dhcp (correct?). But I didn't change anything on the dhcp server. How do I fix it durably?

Thanks
Chris
