Do you have a DHCP server? Are there other machines on this network that work properly? -B- http://www.officeforlawyers.com | http://www.onenote-tips.com Author: The Lawyer's Guide to Microsoft Outlook

Yes we have DHCP server. and other machines are working fine.

I would check the status of Services.Click on the Start button and select Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services. Locate RPC Endpoint Mapper in the list and check that the StartUp type is Automatic. If it is not set to Automatic right click and select Properties, General tab. There is a box after StartUp type. The options are available on a drop down by clicking on the arrow down to the right of the box. Make the change and click on Apply and OK. Restart the computer and check whether it has started.Hope this helps, Gerry Cornell
