Whenever our Windows 2k server is shut down, then re-started, the server does not appear to be on the network and no one can log on. After re-starting a few times, the server comes back on to the network. What causes this, and how can I prevent it?

Is anything mentioned in the event log - had a couple of similar problems -
1) turned out to be faulty NIC - only worked on warm reboot

2) services were being loaded prior to network card initialisation, Changed load order at boot-up
-sorry can't remember exactly how it was done - believe it was a registry change. However prior to doing that the work round was to boot up server - wait 1-2 mins then log onto domain on the server
