MMC: RPC Server Unavailable

On ALL of our computers that I try and connect to via MMC I always get
the error: rpc server is unavailable.

Do I have to turn this on for each of my computers? Why can't I connect
to them via MMC out of the box?

I checked one of the computers I was attempting to connect to and it's
on our LAN, so I'm not going through a firewall to get to it. It has
the RPC service running. And I'm still getting the same error.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
 
The target PC doesn't have a firewall.

My computer is XP SP2. I'm trying to connect to a Win2k machine that
has the RPC service running. It's also on my local LAN so there are no
other firewalls in the way.

Thanks
 
can you telnet from your computer to the workstation on 135? for example

telnet computername 135
