The remote procedure call failed. iis 5

Hi
I have problem with IIS. It was working fine without any problems but right now i am getting an error "The remote procedure call failed.".
I am sure it is not the LovSan or Blaster worm that i am updating the antivirus and have scanned several trimes using removal tools from different antivirus companies.
I have SP4 installed and also the patch form microsoft for that vulnerability .
I have checked the IIS for html files and it is working , the problem is with the asp pages that have been working in that server long time ago and i have tested the "hello world" script and it gives the same error.
I have removed the IIS and reinstalled it and it did not work too.
I am running win 2000 server with SP4.
please help me to solve that problem

Check the System Event log.  See if you are getting: W3SVC EventID 37 If so, this this link might help: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=284716

Otherwise,

What's in your Hello World ASP page?

It could be the antivirus real time scan engines doing this (I suspect though you would get an application restarting page if that were true thoguh) try turning them off briefly to confirm this one way or the other
I have no problem with the antivirus that it is working with the same settings for months now.
Any way i have reinstalled windows again and it is showing that every thing is ok. I am still waiting the real use to be sure the problem is over.
Thanks rwgreene  for your help , I have checked the link but they did not provide any soluation for the problem.
did u check the Remote Procedure Call service
I have the exact smame problem... it has only started just last week. no changes had been made to my system, and for some reason the IIS just stopped processing .asp pages. the htm pages still work fine, so i know IIS is working.

I too read the article, but there is no useful information there, nor is there a solution... i would be most greatful if someone could provide more insight to this problem.

Thanks

I have had same problem, popped up out of the blue about 4 weeks ago and I cant seem to make it go away. I have temporarily moved my web server to another box running WinNT 4 server IIS 4.0, which doesn't make me happy, I'd like to know how to fi this before I build a new Win2K SP4 server.
Does someone out there have an answer?

Sorry, I should mention a little more.
I have SP4 loaded, all the latest patches in place, using Norton Antivirus corporate edition for servers, and am using the IIS lockdown tool and urlscan apps to secure IIS 5.0
I have tried replacing the nic, reinstalling windows client as well as tcp/ip to shake this rpc problem loose, but to no avail.
Any help is appreciated.

I got around the problem by changing the Application protection level in the Admin Tools from Medium (pooled) to low (IIS Process)
This may not be "desirable" but it's the only fix I could come up with.
I figured out what was causing my initial problem, the PC clock was getting more than 5 minutes off from my kerberos authentication server and this caused my DCE settings to go bonkers, the configs got all screwed up and then windows starting reporting all these RPC errors. Now that I have the clock back on track (and Tardiss 2000 keeping me on the right time), my problems have gone away and IIS is behaving again.
I am getting the same error when trying to debug a VB application running in as a local COM+ application.  How can I get to the Admin Tool what will allow me to adjust application protection levels?
