I was getting these same problems, and decided not to automatically blame NTL but to look at alternative answers.

One I found was a known problem with XP SP2 causing DNS errors... and a fix is to go into Admin Tools/ Services and stop DNS client from starting automatically. I did this and the errors did indeed stop!!

There is apparently a fix somewhere on the Windows site to sort this problem, but as yet I haven't found it. It should be an old fix going wayyyyyy back to the first days of SP2, but I read that a rebuild of Windows can cause it to reappear... though as with anything on the Net, it could be duff information.

Anyone got more info?
