The rest of the ipconfig /all would help.
What is the IP of the DNS address?
IT should use ONLY it own IP for DNS, never your ISP's DNS.

If Exchange services don't start it is usually because the Global Catalog
cannot be contacted.
If you run this command it should return the IP of your Global Catalog
server:
nslookup gc._msdcs.<dnsforestrootname>

Also try running nediag /fix
post the results from netdiag /test:dns /v
