Error setting up Internet Connection Sharing

RPC server Not available

While setting up internet connection sharing in Windows XP you might get an error RPC server not available. The probable cause for this error is that your DHCP client service is not running.

The DHCP Client in windows Manages network configuration by registering and updating IP addresses and DNS names.

Open control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and check whether DHCP Client service is started and running. If not running start the service.

This might solve the error RPC server not available while trying to share an Internet connection.
