I'm not sure about Firefox or Opera, but Mozilla supports NTLM from v1.6
onwards! :)

Unfortunately, the company intranet requires the presence of an NTLM'able
browser, which strikes off all of the mozilla et. al., otherwise, I'd
definitely do it!
I'll probably stick a sniffer on the system on Friday, and then schedule
task to start at 6:00... See what traffic goes on.
Cheers for your help guys :)

It seems odd though that as you said this is a replacement machine for
another one which did the exact same thing.. When the server next dies, you
could try running ethereal or tcpview to see where the server is trying to
connect to?
As someone else said, the contents of the reboot script may be useful.. Try
the server on Saturday, see if IE is dead on that day. And if you wanted to
get really drastic, you could try install firefox/mozilla/opera in the
meantime to let them get on with whatever theyre doing, while you look into
the problem before you restart the server!

I've got CA's AMO installed on the machine, and I've just disabled the two
weekly tasks that it runs. I had a daily task that I installed which
rebooted the machine at 6:55 daily, which I put in place after the fault
started happening... that's been disabled. There is also a weekly batch file
which deletes the temporary internet files. I've changed this so it runs
daily, so I'll be able to see tomorrow if it's that at fault - but it
doesn't appear so as the task seems to finish OK.
I've just finished running a spyware checker (spykiller) and I've run an AV
scan (no viral activity). All it came back with was a series of cookies and
jpg images... so, I'm guessing that it's not going to be that then...
Hmmmm.

Just a thought:
Since this is happening routinely at a specific time on a specific day, I'd
look into any type of automated tasks that could be running also. You never
know what you may find.

It does sound like spyware to me as well. What is running on server
startup? As a stop gap/test, try using a hosts file to block external
ad/spy sites.
If it keeps your server up one day, using the hosts file may confirm this.
I've been getting mine from here:
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/get_hosts.html
But these sites are also nice linked.

Subject: [THIN] Windows 2k Terminal Server - Accessing Internet Problems
Hi,
Can anyone help me? I have a Windows 2000 Advanced Server with Terminal
Services where every Monday between 7am and 8am its preventing my users from
accessing the internet. A reboot seems to solve it once it's happened, but a
reboot an hour before (6am) doesn't stop it from happening.
Short of running Snort on the server and some form of keylogger to see what
all the users are doing (which I don't think they'd be happy about), I'm
stumped as to what I can do next.
Any suggestions?
