I've seen it happen with windows clients and Linux based MySQL v 3.x, when the server was protected by tcpwrappers, and the windows machine had that "update the DNS" setting turned on. I can't recall the exact number of times I've walked Users through turning off that checkmark, or have talked to clueless ISP people ( I can't call them admins and still preserve my self-respect. How can you "admin" an ISP and not have a clue about basic DNS and Bind?) about how to setup their DNS so that the Dyn-IP update works.
But little of this is relevant to the OP. Still, checking the hosts file is a good idea - if it's the problem, then it's easy to fix.
