Random Number Always Resets

Is it normal that the Random function always starts with the same number? For that matter, it always uses the same sequence for me.

Is there any way to reseed this so it seems more random (even though I know it's not truly random). It does me little good to have my random function start from the same number each time.

Here is a sample file that I built with a button that populates a field with a random number when pressed. Whenever I close and reopen the file, it goes through the same sequence.

"random-test.zip" is the file

Here is the sequence I get:

.87584429228484828034

.086323888546938024047

.46119167956579087964

.88877338724619403543

.21123376591654205447

etc.

What are my options? Thanks.

This is a bug that affects systems with more than one active network interface card. It was fixed in version 10.0v3.
