I have a Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition OS. I have Active Directory for over a month now and all of a sudden I was adding a new user to the Policy and I restarted the machine. When it booted it hangs on the "Preparing Network Connections..." and stays there for 5+ minutes. When I finally log on I have no internet access and I can't access Group Policies nor Active Directory...

If anyone has any idea, suggestion or solution please let me know.
