I also am now getting this error popping up in my system event viewer,
every 4 minutes. Yo Microsoft you say you have a hotfix for this but you do
not give it to us what is up with that.
SYMPTOMS
After you install Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 (SP4), or you
apply any Microsoft COM+ Rollup Hotfix that is later than COM+Rollup Hotfix
Package 20, you may notice many TCP/IP connections to port 135.
CAUSE
A change in DCOM that was first made in COM+ Rollup Hotfix Package 21
causes a part of DCOM to use the Negotiate security package instead of the
NTLM security package. The Negotiate package does not have correct
credential pooling logic, forcing DCOM to create many connections in some
situations.
RESOLUTION
