James, I had this problem and was able to stop it by shutting down the "Messenger" on my home Windows XP professional. You go to Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance then to Administrative Tools. Open Services and find the "Messenger" service. Double click on the "Messenger", stop the service and then change the startup type to Disabled. This Messenger is suppose to be used by Administrators to send messages to users on the network. Hope that helps. Wes Thompson iSeries System Programmer/Analyst Douglas Machine, Inc.
