what if you un-install the client things of rpc?
like, take out all the kix-dll's and if you have made registry setttings or ini-file or in logon batch set environment for kixrpc...

when you get those all out restart the machine and query the globalgroup it should answer.
if not, then there must be something wrong with the system as it works for others...

cheers,
