MS states this is due to the forwarding of UDP packets at the Router...the odd thing is that the CLIENT_MACHINE is a random machine in the netowrk. There are no subnets set up. Anyone able to confirm the MS KB or any otehr ideas?

There are many possible causes. One case I had is that there are two DHCP servers in one subnet and assigned different masks. This link with case study may help
