I have a win2000 SP3 server that's been working fine
until today. It is my DNS, File, Print, and Mail server.
I have 30 clients accessing a shared drive from the
server.
When the users log in they recieve the profiles, but over
the course of 15 minutes the server hangs and the users
obviously cannot save/retrieve documents (or save profile
information).
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Any reason why you aren't on SP4 yet?
How many nics in the server?
Does the ipconfig/all from the clients show that everything is pointing to
the server-IP?
How big are those profiles?

When the hang happens, is the server locked at the console? Can you ping the server by IP or name from a client?

Thank you,
