One of our clients has begun getting a message "remote
procedure call service" is not working and Win XP must
shut down. (usually spcifies 1 minute till shutdown).
Thye are using a cable modem with no router since it is
the ony computer in the house. Ideas would be
appreciated. Pleas email as well as respond.

**** You need to make sure you have a FIREWALL enabled ****

Open XP's "Help and Support" and type: FIREWALL , and hit enter.
Click on the topic titled "Enable or Disable Internet Connection Firewall".
