SYMPTOMS
========

If run from Microsoft Network Client 3.0, the RPC client sample file Helloc.exe
fails with the following or a similar message:

  RpcStringBindingCompose returned 0x0
  pszStringBinding = ncacn_np:rxobot_serv[\\pipe\\hello]
  RpcBindingFromStringBinding returned 0x0
  Rpc Binding Handle = 3e5a0016
  Calling the remote procedure 'HelloProc'
  Print the string 'hello, world' on the server
  Runtime reported exception 0x1b = 27
  RpcStringFree returned 0x0
  RpcBindingFree returned 0x0

CAUSE
=====

Either the Network Client is running the Basic Redirector, or the logged on user
cannot connect to the IPC$ directory on the server.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, do either of the following:

- Run SETUP on the client and configure it to run the Full Redirector.

-or-

- Make sure that the user who is logged on at the client can perform the
  following operation:

  NET USE \\<server>\IPC$

  NOTE: It is not necessary to make an IPC$ connection before running
  Helloc.exe, but Helloc.exe will fail if either the client or the user is not
  capable of making an IPC$ connection.
