Open Network Connections Click the Dial-up, LAN or High-Speed Internet connection that you want to protect, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this connection. On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall, select one of the following: To enable Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), select the Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box. It's likely that your PC has been infected by a worm. Here's an excerpt from one of the hundreds of posts to this group that centers on that topic. Use SEARCH to find others... If necessary to stop the reboot process: Start/Run Type "shutdown -a" ENTER Install or enable a firewall IMMEDIATELY, before connecting to the internet: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=283673 VERY IMPORTANT to follow ALL steps, closing ports or installing the patch is NOT enough. Download the patch and regedit referenced in the article below. You may need to do this at an uninfected computer and burn to CD or save on floppies. Each file is small enough to fit on a floppy. Follow this to clean and protect your computer: http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_qr.htm#rpc After this is resolved prevent similar occurrences by installing ALL Critical Updates from Windows Update. Keep antivirus up to date and run at least weekly. Install or enable a firewall.

How do i turn on a firewall
Is the "problem with RPC" due to the MSBlaster worm?
If your machine has been infected with that, you'll need to do more than just turning on the firewall. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;826955 "Virus Alert About the Blaster Worm and Its Variants" However, if turning on the firewall is all that you need, there's an adequate description of it in XP's built-in help. (In brief: under Start, settings, Network Connections, open the network connection you're using, and click the Properties button. The firewall is activated using a checkbox on the Advanced tab.) HTH.
