Jeff,

Does this pc have any sort of add-on utility that "masks" your operating system ?
Do you have a 3rd-party firewall, which might "mask" your operating system?

That's funny... and reproducible here, on quite SOME^Wall W2K machines.
I asked Gary Caldwell twice per email, since he posted the URL to the
tool, but got no answer to that question in particular.

Want even more fun: visit http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/diag/ with
your IE5.01SP4 (?) and you'll most probably get
