Slow Bootup Server DC&Net Diags

[Guest Thom Paine]

I have a problem with this server being very slow to boot and unresponsive

on the lan. It's a Dell Poweredge 2850 with 2.8GHz Xeon processor and 1G

ram.

 

Here is the output from dcdiag.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm at the point where I want to

reload this server and start new, but my issue is I can't afford the

downtime to do that unless I can get a virtual copy to run for a week while

I do this.

 

I'm still considering doing this over the christmas break.

 

Thanks.
