Not sure if this is right group, but I have a strange one. I have an XP
system, on a Domain (Windows server 2003, AD etc.). It started losing
connections, so rebooted. When it came up, it had a name in the login box of
a person who had never been on that system. The computer also changed name to
the name of the computer that person uses. It also lost IP. I have seen
systems lose IP addresses before, but have never seen one arbitraily change
it's name, or put another name in the login box. Any ideas what would cause
this?
 
Maybe you have been hacked? Not hacked as such but somebody has sent a file
combined with another file, it happens often trust me.
