Strange -- no traffic flows out if initiated by server 2000

I have an Windows 2000 domain controller. About once a
week the server is not able to initiate outbound tcp/ip
connection. Yet it is the main DNS server. The only bad
egg in the basket is a Novell clown installed client32 on
it one day when I was off. I am not sure how to fix
this. right now I reboot it when I notice the problem.
Or someone calls to tell me the printer queue is hosed.
Ideas?

Mike

Have you checked the event logs to see if there's a reason for the server
dropping off-line?
