Dear All,

I am running Windows 2000 Server with SP4. A few days ago I found that the
"Network Connections" service cannot be started and I could not open the
"Network and Dial-up Connection" folder. However, TCP/IP is still running
and I am able to ping to other machines.

All other services using the TCP/IP network respond very slowly. And I could
not apply any Windows security patches on that server or run the Windows
Update, and even I am not able to install Microsoft Anti-spyware Beta on
that server. I have scanned the server for viruses and did not find any.

What is going on? Does anyone help?

Thanks.
Henry Chang
