Raman,
Thanks for the input and links. I’m afraid, though that I’m still using 98se, so wonder whether what goes for XP goes for 98se in this case.
Anyway, given what was mentioned on the second link:
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) (Automatic) -Critical! Leave this set to Automatic. Just about everything depends on this service to be running.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator (DISABLE) -Manages the RPC name service database. I have not found a reason to keep this service running. If something on your network breaks after you disable this service, put it back to Manual or Automatic.
…which RPC are we talking about here…the locator (seemingly OK to disable), or the former (Critical!) one?
I’m still unwilling to follow Jusme’s tip, until more sure of what can transpire.
