"none of TCP services respond" - please expand on this: if you try and connect to a listening port, does it totally fail to respond, i.e.: $ telnet $somehost 25 Trying $somehost... << big pause >> telnet: connect to address $somehost: Connection timed out Or, does it connect but you get no connection banner / response, i.e. $ telnet $somehost 25 Trying $somehost... Connected to $somehost. Escape character is '^]'. << just sits there >> (Look at a couple of different ports and see if there's any difference - some daemons fork a new process to answer a request, some don't). Also: is the console responsive (can you login or run processes) or is that also hanging? Is there any indication in logs (usual logs in /var/log, and also /var/cron/log) as to whether processes keep running and whether new processes get started during this time or not?
