I had do all the updates etc... and we have a router
firewall and the firewall in the "Standard sbs2003"
engaged. Since then I have checked all the leads to the
drives etc and did all the diagionistics, everything
seems fine. As a last ditch effect I put the operating
system disk in a rebooted to cd, it check my system and
then rebooted fine, I am afraid to shut down. In case it
does look like it is software related I am able to do a
repair on sbs2003 without losing my data (similar to
Window XP)? Thanks Kevin
