Note after installing WinXP SP2 one might get the following error:
Event ID: 1000
RPC locator has encountered a problem and needs to be closed.

Hi,
I am running an RPC based server and RPC based client on different machine (both system having Windows-XP Professional with service pack 2). The problem I am facing is client is not communicating with RPC Server. I have seen that RPC Server exports its information to name servide database(i.e. to local RPC Locator) but still client is not able to find location information about server from Name service. Can you please let me know what configuration I have to make in both systems to make it work? Whether it has to do any thing with RPC Locator?
Thanks in advance
