Help! I'm getting a shutdown message " Windows must now
restart because the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service
terminated unexpectantly."

I've just set up a two computer network with Linksys
10/100 fast router and cables. Suddenly I'm getting this
message and the system shuts down. I must have a (some)
settings wrong. This is my first time setting up a small
home network.
