Hi,
Ok another question just to make sure -- this file server is a member of
domain? If yes, then you will _have_ to fix the DNS thing first before we
can go on. Even if you do the fdisk (and I don't think you will have to once
you fix DNS) it will only fix the problem for short period of time (days,
maybe a week...)...
