Check your DNS servers for poisoning...

Also, flush the DNS caches on the 2000 workstations, and make sure they
aren't running the DNS Server service.
ipconfig /flushdns

I found one adult-oriented site that would attempt to poison the DNS cache
of clients and scan for DNS servers on client's class C whenever HTTP
requests from new IPs arrived.
