Jim, check your routing table (netstat -r) for multiple default routes.  I get
the same "maybe/maybe not" symptoms if I have a default defined in the tcpip
settings then also connect with dhcp.  If both settings default to the router
it's OK, but if they are to different address I get weird connections.  I hit
this fairly often making all sorts of configuration changes for multiple local
networks so I finally forced myself to stop that nonsense and if I have a case
where I need a fixed default I try and make it the router.
