"Remote Procedure Call terminated" problem

[Calen]

I`ve just checked my firewall logs, and in the last 12 hrs, 75% of attempted connections are for the RPC port 135...Times like this makes me glad that I refuse to upgrade from Win98...

Seems to be a very common thing of late, you can directly test if your at risk with this by clicking
here  (port 135 on your comp will be probed)

This link will instantly and easily test anyone's Internet-connected PC. "Open" is BAD, "Closed" or "Stealth" is safe.
 
Lots of other security tests can be performed at the main Shields Up page which we all had fun time? on IRC doing last night :-)

Welcome to probe central ;-)

but at least they didn't appear to be open

Yep thats the main thing.  I aint probed more than once tbh, once was enough for now, maybe later ;-)
