It is probably looking for a wins server. It's a common problem.

Kevin,
diald needs to be reconfigured because XP is quite promiscuous! Without hacking the diald configuration, my ISP is being dialed as soon as it goes down. Auto dialing from the XP does not do this, presumably because it is already configured properly. I will need to sniff the packets to see what is going across my network, as all I have turned on is TCP/IP. Can't think what XP is doing, other than trying to find a way home...
Cheers, Matthew

hi matthew,
what needs configuring RE diald - is it because the XP box does not fire up the link?
as a quick answer - i downloded the dial control panel from debian called dialdcost - then i made this available via a vnc session to anyone on the network - it works fine because you can set it to dial on demand - or force it up continuously - or quickly shut the link etc.
