I do not have any monitor or a keyboard, so I cannot see exactly what

server on my laptop.
Why not just hook up a serial cable between the two and use the laptop
as a serial console for the server. Log the output and see what's up.
I do not own a serial cable and I don't think that my Thinkpad T42 has
a serial port.
Not having a backup-plan for getting console access (e.g. either a
monitor/keyboard or a serial cable and a USB/serial dongle) ranks up
there with not having a data backup.
At least you can build a serial cable and USB dongles aren't very
expensive.
Does the laptop have a modem? Does the server? Dial in.
