Question : Server 2003 Needs to be rebooted every 3 to 4 days - result is that it cannot see resources

Environment:   Server 2003 Active Directory
            Connection is WAN
            Not experiencing any network problems

We currently have a Server 2003 Box at one of our clinics that needs to be re-booted every 3 to 4 days.  End result after 3 to 4 days is that the server can no longer see any of our other servers besides the workstations on its local LAN. Users can no longer print, cannot attach to resources. We believe that the problem has to do with RPC/NetBios.

After a reboot it works fine for another 3 to 4 days

The following outputs are from DCDiag and NetDiag

Before the reboot:

DCDiag:
Domain Controller Diagnosis

Performing initial setup:
   [XXX-SPEECHSRV] LDAP search failed with error 58,
   The specified server cannot perform the requested operation..
   ***Error: The machine, XXX-SPEECHSRV could not be contacted, because of a
   bad net  response.  Check to make sure that this machine is a Domain
   Controller.
