In the recent discussion, the solution that worked was to uncheck the
'log on to network' checkbox.

This is supposed to work, regardless of host name.

192.160.13.16 is the native IP address of the terminal server to whichof
the terminal server to which you are connecting.  Are you sure that the
last debugging entry above indicates the IP address assigned to you?  It
might be just the terminal server identifying itself.  Have you found
any documentation that describes what these log entries mean?  If not, I
would not put too much faith in them.  Specifically, those debugging
entries don't specify whose IP address is being shown.

Do you have the 'use default gateway' box checked?  If not, please check
it.  If it's not checked, your machine might try to route outgoing
traffic through the IP address of the terminal server.  That might not
work, because it's not on the same network as your machine is.
