System.DirectoryServices.Protocols Error on Web App

I have a CMS2002 installation on a W2003 - IIS6 - Box.
Today out of the blue I got thrown the following error:

System.Directory Services.Protocols could not be loaded.

I commented out the following lines from the webconfig lines:

assembly="System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=****"/>
and
add assembly="System.DirectoryServices.Protocols, Version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=****"/>

And the application is running again - I am at a loss regarding this, there
have been no changes on the code, or versions of .net or anything on this box
- at 10:00 am it was working, and by 10:30 am it wasn't. Any suggestions?

Sorry, no. However ...
There was no way for you to know it (except maybe by browsing through
some of the previous questions before posting yours - always a
recommended practice), but this is a classic asp newsgroup. ASP.Net is
a different technology from classic ASP. While you may be lucky enough
to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can answer your question, you
can eliminate the luck factor by posting your question to a newsgroup
where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.
There are also forums at www.asp.net where you can find a lot of people
to help you.
