Does netdiag /v indicate any problems? Do you have Zone Alarm installed
(this loaded two files called minilog.exe and vsmon.exe from the system32
folder that interfered with ldap requests in a previous case with that
error).

Since you know the problem was the result of a virus, you should rebuild
that server from scratch to remove any remnants of the virus. If you have
a known good System State from a time prior to receiving the virus, after
you format the drive and reinstall Windows 2000 you should be able to then
restore the System State to get your AD information back.
