RPC Problem?!

I had a nice running Small Business Server 2000 system. At=20
least till last Wednesday. The Problem:

When I start the Server, I receive the message that=20
several services couln't be startet. So I go and see! DHCP=20
Server is not startet, DNS neither. There are to many=20
errormessages - so I can just add some.

The point is that after starting the DHCP Service and the=20
DNS Service everything works fine!! But somehow they can't=20
start at the beginning!

The first error in the syslog I get is:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7024
Date: 30.08.2003
Time: 13:15:10
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The Distributed Transaction Coordinator service terminated=20
with service-specific error 3221229627.=20

No idea what the service specific code is!! Looked for it=20
all over the place: No result.

Then soon after the DNS Server can't start:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DNS
Event Category: None
Event ID: 140
Date: 30.08.2003
Time: 13:15:25
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The DNS server could not initialize the remote procedure=20
call (RPC) service. If it is not running, start the RPC=20
service or reboot the computer. The event data is the=20
error code.=20
Data:
0000: ba 06 00 00 =BA... =20

Then after a while I get several of these errormessages:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: DCOM
Event Category: None
Event ID: 10010
Date: 30.08.2003
Time: 14:21:25
User: SMALLBUSINESS\administrator
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The server {2DA131BA-B63F-11D2-A777-00105AA735A0} did not=20
register with DCOM within the required timeout.=20

and then:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7022
Date: 30.08.2003
Time: 14:51:07
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The COM+ Event System service hung on starting.=20

and right after:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7001
Date: 30.08.2003
Time: 14:51:07
User: N/A
Computer: SERVER
Description:
The System Event Notification service depends on the COM+=20
Event System service which failed to start because of the=20
following error:=20
After starting, the service hung in a start-pending=20
state. =20

Any ideas?! Thanks a lot!

Is there a router that is also doing DHCP? SBS boxes hate that and will
shut down.

"Don't lose sight of security. Security is a state of being, not a
state of budget. He with the most firewalls still does not win.
Put down that honeypot and keep up to date on your patches. Demand
better security from vendors and hold them responsible. Use what
you have, and make sure you know how to use it properly and
effectively."
