This sounds suspiciously like a familiar problem over here having to do with
multiple versions of LOGIN.EXE on our campus internet.  When I boot my
workstation, unless I specify which server it should connect to, it may default
to any of a number of servers on our backbone.  When I then log in, I run the
default servers copy of LOGIN.  The problem occurs when I run a 2.X LOGIN to
get to a 3.X server: the login script will not run.  When you log in again, you
are running the 3.X LOGIN instead, and all functions properly.

Suggestions (if this is in fact the case) -- 
1) specify a preferred server when you run NETx (command line would be 
	NETx /ps=servername)
2) put the same copy of LOGIN.EXE on all servers on your internet (preferrably
	one that works :)

Good luck!
