If you boot the machine from a local disk, can it see _anything_ on
your network, like printers?  This will help you determine whether
you have a break in the cabling.  Can _other_ workstations find the
server at that time?

When you do the Apple-Ctrl-Reset, be sure to KEEP the Apple key down
after releasing either Ctrl or Reset (or both), until you see that
the machine has indeed started to reboot (you'll see "Apple IIgs" or
whatever at the top of the screen).  This advice goes for all other
Apple II models, too (er...except that you shoul expect to see a
different machine name at the top of the screen).
