ping stops when acquiring network address

ping stops during boot up when acquiring network address.  Afterwards you cannot acces the server from the network.

This sounds like a firewall issue.
Check your firewall or temporary stop the service.

Yes, and if you have Norton IS, you'll maybe have to uninstall it completely as disabling it, sometimes just isn't enough.

Firewall service is disabled and Symantec is disabled.
Is that server getting a correct IP from DHCP?

The server is the DC; static IP with DHCP & DNS Services running and AD.
Did you try to reboot the server in 'Last known good configuration'?
WE have had this happen several times when the IPSEC service hung on starting.  To fix we disabled the IPSEC service, restarted the server and saw that network connectivity worked as expected.  We then set the IPSEC service to automatic again and manually started it and then rebooted the server again.  Everything worked fine after that. Seemed to correspond to a problem after running Windows updates.
