[X4U] 10.3 Sharing weirdness

[Mark Gibson]

I have a client with three workstations, all running 10.3.8. Each 
machine has sharing turned on and they often link to each other to 
share files. There is no dedicated server (yet).

As of yesterday morning one of the machines (lets call it machine B) 
is acting very peculiar. If machines A and C are already on when 
machine B is started, machine B displays dialogue boxes about "trying 
to contact machine A / C". If machines A and C are off when machine B 
is started, machine B starts normally and doesn't display these 
dialogue boxes.

I"ve spent some time with them on the 'phone and they assure me that 
there are no entries in machine B's, System Preferences -> Accounts 
-> Startup Items. I also got them to remove any favourites from the 
"connect to server" dialogue box.

Any of ideas as to where residual information might lie?
