Do you happen to run an NFS server on this machine too?
I once had a similar problem on my debian server but the other way around,
dnsmasq was preventing one of the NFS daemons to start.
Check your 'query-port' in dnsmasq.conf
You can also check what processes are using which ports on your server
with the command:
netstat -anlp | grep -w LISTEN
Hope this helps,
