numerical solution of an ODE doesn't make sense

Hello, and thanks in advance to any response.
I solved a 2nd degree ode with NDSolve for the unknown x(t) for 2 time
domains: 0<t<100 and 0<t<700, with the same boundary conditions.
than I ploted the two solutions for 0<t<20, and they came out different ! it
is like the solution in t<20 is influenced by the solution in t>100 - it
doesn't make sense.
thanks,
Itamar.
