Solution Steps
- 1 Verify the network address you are using. Check if the IP address or hostname is correct. You can use the 'ping' command to test connectivity. Press Windows key + R, type 'cmd', and press Enter. Type 'ping [address]' and press Enter. If you get a reply, the address is reachable.
- 2 If the address is a hostname, ensure it resolves correctly. Type 'nslookup [hostname]' and press Enter. If it fails, the DNS is not resolving the name.
- 3 Check if the RPC service is running. Press Windows key + R, type 'services.msc', and press Enter. Find 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC)' and ensure its status is 'Running'. If not, right-click and select 'Start'.
- 4 Check your firewall settings. Ensure that the port used for RPC (typically 135) is open. You can temporarily disable the firewall (if safe) to test.
- 5 If the error occurs in a specific application, check the application's configuration for the correct server address.
