Using WireShark, we observed that making a request in LC (our standalone) to our server, DNS lookup 
changed to the domain (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx).  DNS Failed... it returns "invalid host 
address".   Same code on a standalone from 5.5.1 work fine.  Fails on 7.0.1.

The DNS query is overwritten and incorrect from the requested domain.  The 
domain matches the login of the host computer.  The url is correctly returned 
if using a standalone from LC 5.5.1, but is not correct with 7.0.1.

On a clean install of Windows XP, and with the computer part of a workgroup and 
not logging into a domain, 7.0.1 is working ok

Any thoughts?

Don't know, but I'd trust WireShark over any other indicator. If it weren't for the fact that 5.5.1 works properly I'd tend to suspect a misconfigured router or a mitm dns attack. But I should point out that the 7.0.1 release was a year ago, so you might try building with a more recent version and see what happens.

Also, since this works with a virgin install of xp, you might check the hosts file on the other computers to look for anomalies there.
