Can not retire Server

We have an old windows 2000 server that we would like to turn off. But when
we do turn it off applications that never existed on that server begin to
function slowly.

When I do a netstat I see microsoft-ds SYN_SEND to the server that is off.
How can I make it so I can turn this server off.

Run an ipconfig /all on one of the servers that have problems when you turn
the Win 2k server off. Note the DNS server IP address. Is it the IP address
of the Win 2k server that you turned off? If so you will need to supply
another DNS server for the clients in your domain to use instead if the Win
2k server you want to turn off.
