On reboot. RPC will quickly crash and the system will force shutdown (in one minute). Tried classic (XP) "ListenOnInternet"="N" registry key: no effect. Tried enabling all interfaces explicitly (rpccfg): Works but useless. Tried disabling NIC card: Works but useless (no connectivity). Tried enabling all interfaces explicitly except externally connected NIC (rpccfg): Crash. Added custom loopback interface (Fake NIC) to try and placate RPC: Crash.

Hi, Please run netsh show settings and netsh show interface (without quotes) commands first. The subnet address is 127.0.0.0. Here is one article about netsh rpc can be referred to.
