David,

Are you using 2003 server without active directory?
Are you using pserver?

We went back to windows 2000 proffesional to host our repository because 
of the problems with LSA
   (FAQ item) 2.2. Using pserver causes LSASS.EXE to fall over
This may be fixed now, but we already switched back.
 
If you are comming from a new machine, you might be using a different 
protocol than your other machines.

Just a thought.
