You need to install Windows XP Service Pack 1. Certain registry keys on
which Fax depends can be wiped out by certain update or repair operations in
XP and causes this behavior. SP1 fixes the problem. Alternatively:
1. Save the attachment to this post (or paste the text between dashed lines
at the bottom of this message into Notepad and save it).
2. Rename it RPCProt.reg
3. Go to Windows Explorer and double-click on RPCProt.reg - this would apply
the key to the registry (assuming that Merge is the default action).
3a. If double clicking the RENAMED file opens Notepad or WordPad, go to
'Start|Run', type REGEDIT, click OK, then go to 'File|Import' and navigate
to the file.
4. Stop and restart the fax service.
The contents of the attached file:
--------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Rpc\ClientProtocols
]
"ncacn_np"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_ip_tcp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncadg_ip_udp"="rpcrt4.dll"
"ncacn_http"="rpcrt4.dll"

Can't send faxes from XP. I get a message that fax
printers are not accessible or "An attempt to connect to
the fax printer failed"
It works if I reboot. Have reinstalled fax service,
downloaded and merged faxfig.reg.
No improvement. Any ideas?
