could be a bad cable, adapter or router. Get some network tools and start testing this issue. You can also start by replacing the cable with a nwe one.

I wouldnt expect explorer.exe or iexplore.exe to show this error if it were a bad cable, and no other clients have this issue so dont suspect a router/switch issue

I have an issue with an XP Pro SP3 PC connected to a SBS 2003 domain. &nbsp;When opening documents from any network share the document takes a little time to open(only a few seconds longer than normal) but the following error is logged under Application in event viewer<br />
<br />
Event ID 5 - RPC<br />
Application (&quot;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\EXCEL.EXE&quot;<wbr /> &nbsp;/e) (PID: 2312) has failed to complete a COM/RPC call because of an invalid message from server.<br />
<br />
The program changes from EXCEL.exe to WINWORD.exe and sometimes is also logged for IE and explorer.exe.<br />
<br />
Any ideas as to what could be the cause. &nbsp;We run Trend CSM but no other clients are experiencing same issue(have reset firewall settings)

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.

Windows OS

Networking software modules are interfaced with a framework implemented on the machine's operating system that implements the networking functionality of the operating system. The best known frameworks are the TCP/IP model and the OSI model. Systems typically do not use a single protocol to handle a transmission. Instead they use a set of cooperating protocols, sometimes called a protocol family or protocol suite.[9] Some of the best known protocol suites include: IPX/SPX, X.25, AX.25, AppleTalk and TCP/IP. Other protocols indirectly related to networking include the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) and its related technologies, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), Domain Name Server (DNS) and other Internet protocols.

Networking Protocols

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
