Windows 2000 Server Network Down! Help!!
Hello Experts I have a Windows 2000 Server as a Domain controller this is the only server on the network, it is hooked up to a router thats is managed by our ISP. Today we had abut 4 power surges for a perios of 30 seconds, after this was over now the server does not have internet access, and none of the client machines cant see the server or login to the domain. nobody can see each other at all...i have power off swtiches, rebooted server and computer power on and off the router and still no success.......no one can see each other at all. Can anyone help me determine whats the problem?? our company is shutdown because of this. Thanks

Thanks it seems liek our switches died,,,,,,,,,I tried a new switch and it seems to work fine.......(DNS was running, it automatically starts when I rebooted the server)
I was just about to add that...
Switches should be on UPS devices to prevent the circuits from getting fried - just as in your case.
Make sure the new switch is on a UPS this time.

the switches were on a surge protector and the surge protector was plugged in to a UPS
They must have gotten a surge through the network cabling. Nasty....!

Do you know of a utility that will make sure that the time on my server' system tray is accurate? something that will sync with a time server or something like that
