Windows NT 4.0 Responding Slowly On-site, but Remote Access Performance is Good

• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use your Microsoft Windows NT 4.0-based computer locally, it may respond slowly. For example, Windows NT Explorer, Control Panel, Network Neighborhood, and so on, may take several minutes to start. However, your computer may respond normally over a remote connection.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service is not running.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, set the RPC service to Automatic, and then start the service:

1. In Control Panel, double-click Services.



2. In the Service box, click Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Service, and then click Startup.



3. Click Automatic, and then click OK.



4. Click Start.



5. Click Close to close the Services dialog box.
