Cant access server - preparing network connections

[mgraveney]

Help pls,
we have an W2K box (SP2) running exchange 2k - this morning the box was down and once restarted got to the preparing network connections dialog and won't go any further. Tried various safe modes but when logging on was unable to due to netlogon noit running!! ??

Could do with some tips.
;-)

boot into safe mode and check your event viewer for any info from the past non-bootup..also...check your dns...make sure its running ok...

Tried safe mode but unfortunatly it won't let us logon to windows says that it is unable to log us in as netlogon is not running?

Mine takes ages when preparing network connections, then the netlogon appears. I really mean ages as well, about fifteen minutes.
