RPC Service giving me trouble!

I just inherited a SQL Server that for all intents and
purposes, appears to be functioning fine at the database
level. However, anytime we try to open the MMC, run
Event Viewer, connect remotely and a host of other OS
level functions, we receive "RPC Server Unavailable"
messages. Not a single article I've read has provided a
solution that worked for me. One last note: when I
looked through the services, I noticed that 1 of the 2
RPC Services was not running, and when I attempted to
start it, it stalled. Any advice or past experience
would be appreciated.
 
Have your (RPC) and (RPC) locator services started? Make sure Remote Registry service has also started. You might try looking to make sure MSBlaster is not running in this machine. The RPC is one area that it can effect.

Anything odd in the Task Manager under Processes?
