So the process was like this
1. Check the IP address on command prompt by typing ipconfig
Result. IP address ----> 0.0.0.0
2. Renew the IP address by ipconfig/renew
Got the error message which says RPC server is unavailable.
The steps to fix the issue RPC server is unavailable
The reason for this error message "The RPC server is unavailable is the Remote Procedure Call server can't be located. It means the server service is not yet started and to fix the error we need to start the RPC server.
Steps to start RPC server
The steps to start Remote Procedure Call server are:
1. Click on start and go to Run window
2. On Run type services.msc
Now the services window will be opened.
3. Start Remote procedure Call service
We do it by right click on the service and click on start.
4. After starting the RPC server service we need to restart our computer. After restart the issue will be fixed.

Thanks for this helpful post. I too was facing this RPC server issue. I fixed it by following your instructions. Thanks
I did all of the above, but when I got to the point to right click on the RPC to "start" the service, It will not allow me to do so. None of the options (start, stop, pause, resume)are highlighted, and I cannot click on any of them. I cannot connect to the internet or to my network. Under network connections, it says "renewing IP address" and I tried ipconfig/renew, etc....
I too am stuck as user above stated as the rights are linked to a nt user account instead of local.
Very weird
mine too.. not working with this solution. Firewall - OFF, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks component - ON. still failed :(
I Used all the techniques that u have provided. I started RPC according to your advice but it didn't solve my problem. My pc still shows the message on Status: Acquiring Network Address. Plz send me other ideas.........
Please make sure you are in admin account before performing the steps. To get effect you should reboot the computer.

Make sure the DHCP Client service is running.
