    Any possibility that people hooked up non-domain computers to your network?
    This will do it - the workgroup name will show up for a while, and then
    disappear after a while. The Netbios stuff you mention has to do with
    browsing - without NetBIOS over TCP/IP enabled, you can't browse network
    places at all.
