Hello folks,
on Friday I installed a new NIC in my Windows 2000 Server (w/ SP4) PDC.
The new NIC worked (though not connected to a network) fine, no crashes, no
lock ups... Nothing. A reboot after setting up the driver etc. went through
without any error.
Today I wanted to change a few settings in the GPO, but couldn't - as the
GPOs weren't availible?! (PDC couldn't be found... Or something like that) I
decided to reboot, but I couldn't get the machine back up again. It always
locks up (I can still use the mouse) while "Preparing network connections".
What can I do to solve the problem... I think it's related to the NIC, but
as the box went fine since Friday, I' not sure.
Thanks for your help in advance...
