Lars,
      NETX send a GET NEAREST SERVER inquiry to the network
and the first File Server that hears that inquiry  will 
respond, hence seeming to get the same server (wrong one) or 
a random one.  

      You can either put a 

                           PREFERRED SERVER = preferred_server 

in your net.cfg file (near the top of the file) OR you can invoke the 
NETX with a command line parameter, i.e. 

                           NETX /PS=preferred_server_name

Either way you will then have the workstation attached to the 
server of your choice
