In my firewall log, there are records of users using Outlook and Excel (mostly 
Outlook) and looking for the Global Catalog. Description is GHBN (get host by 
name).  This occurs for only the Win98 users.  Anyone have any idea of why this 
is happening?  

Following are examples:

10.1.1.54, carole, EXCEL.EXE:2:4.10, -, 11/15/2001, 16:45:00, -, ISAServer, -, 
GlobalCatalogname.internal.domain.com, 10.1.1.215, 0, -, 0, 0, -, -, GHBN, -, 
-, -, 0, -, -, -, 505, 0

10.1.1.16, kate, OUTLOOK.EXE:2:4.10, -, 11/15/2001, 15:39:38, -, ISAServer, -, 
GlobalCatalogname.internal.domain.com, 10.1.1.215, 0, -, 0, 0, -, -, GHBN, -, 
-, -, 0, -, -, -, 453, 0

Any help would be appreciated.
