Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service

[Pat]

Subject service terminates early during internet usuage.
This causes Windows to shut down which requires a re-
connection to the internet.

Can't download updates to XP Home (recently upgraded form
ME) because of this problem.

Did not have problem with ME.

Thanks for any help given.
