RPC related DFS problem

After rebooting a W2K srv box, a DFS root on that server is no longer available.
When trying to connect to the DFS root via the DFS admin tool i receive 'RPC server
not available' message.
I've tried resarting the the RPC service as per Microsoft article 224370, but the
service is already running. By design the service cannot be stopped if already running.
There are no connectivety issues with that server, which is often the case with RPC
problems. AD replication (which is running on IP encapsulated RPC) is functioning
perfectly also (thank god!!) Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

Since I have never had your problem, my only thought is to try stopping and starting
the DFS Service
There no dependencies and recovery only has basically these options (restart service,
and reboot the server)

i should have mentioned that i did this first, but no luck.
Additionally :
while the DFS service was running, access to other DFS roots via dfs admin console
was possible.
When the service was stopped however, these roots were no longer accessible. This
is obvious since the service was stopped. But interestingly enough, the same message
was displayed (RPC server unavailable) for the working roots, (while the service
was stopped), as displayed for the problem root (while the service was running.)
