RRAS Won't Start After Converting to AD Domain Controller

We had RRAS running on a Windows 2000 Advance Server machine and it was
working fine --- the machine was running as a server in a Windows NT 4.0
Domain.

Today we converted the machine to a Domain Controller running in a AD domain
and now the RRAS will not start. We keep getting errors that the service did
not respond in a timely manner.

We also get an initial error from DCOM regarding the failure to start the
service 'netman' with arguments "".

Following instruction from the Microsoft KB we have installed .NET and the
SP1 for it but the result is the same, it will not start.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

I've just noticed something even more insidious: Ethernet connections
are missing from the Network Properties. The machine is online and
running (except for RRAS) but there are no LAN connections displayed.
The "Make New Connection" icon is missing also and if I right click and
select "New Connection" there is a very long delay before the wizard
starts. When it does the only connection options available are for
Dialup networking.
 
After struggling with this all night we reinstalled Win2000 SP4 and the
problems are gone! Everything is working just as it was before the
conversion to AD.
