jibberish in wins database

I am seeing some strange things in my rather large wins database.

we have around 260 PCs spread out over 25 locations, all connected to the main site via anywhere from 64-256k Frame relay circuits.

We are noticing a handful of remote PC entries in the database with jibberish names like |~~~~'ne', --------'ou'+, etc. and types of "[05h] other". we try to tombstone the entries, and some come back to life as active.

I know none of those PCs are named anything weird. They are all pretty much standard names consisting of job function+branch number.

what the heck is going on???? anyone seen anything like that?

 
One other note... they are also running Lantastic. Could that be what is causing part of the problems? They have an "aftermarket" version that supposedly works with xp.
