I created a domain in DNS called team3.  In that domain all my hosts are called "host.team3"

So now in my MSN configs, my SER server is referenced as popov.team3 and I login as admin at popov.team3. 

Unfortunately, this produces the same result as before: the XP client gets in, but the 2K client never prompts for a password.  You think it's because my "TLD" has four chars instead of three?

I do suspect that not all bits of MSN are being uninstalled because when I reinstalled, it remembered the IP address of the SER server.  Any clue how to uninstall those libraries?  

Also, it is not possible to install the exact same version on 2K and XP.  I tried earlier and it complained that the XP version is only for systems running XP.
