So yeah, this RPC issue is causing us all kinds of grief today.

Looks to me like it's some kind of distributed attack, since we have tons of customers calling us with the error message.. ("Remote procedure call RPC service terminated unexpanctly please reboot the computer." then it reboots.)

Yet another example of why you should update your OS.

Bleh.

yeah, we're getting nailed with it at a major corporation with good firewalls (read ANAL sysadmins)

My home box got nailed by that a couple of weeks ago. No permanent damage, but bloody annoying.

Hehehe... The benefits of patching your system at home and only supporting Macs at work ;)

Only Mac's at work? Lucky.

I'm stuck supporting every type of cheapshit T1 routing device in existence (You know people will actually use NT to route IP?)

The home box got a quick patch, but it did interrupt my Anime watching, which was annoying.

of course on the other hand... you shouldn't update your OS -- http://www.pcworld.com/howto/article/0,aid,111108,00.asp

For myself, I just cower all my computers behind my 'lil old P-133 BSD Gateway (not the brand ;P)...

The phone hasn't stopped all day because of that thing.
And we have to tell almost everyone that we can't help. Get me out of this shit-storm.-ISP tech supporter

On the other hand, I get 2-3 calls a week from people who haven't been able to get onto the net since the last windows update they did...

Why oh why can't they finish the OS before they sell it?
