Sam,
Precicely the answer - thanks. I did do a lot of googling prior to
posting this message, and found nothing. After I posted here, I
googled '02:01:00' in an attempt to find out the manufacturer of the
nic. I found the following enlightening page:

which said:

In our case, we are not load balancing any servers, but whoever
installed them installed load balancing on all of them (?). I have
simply un-checked load balancing in the network config on each server
the problem is solved.
Thanks again!
