Here are the 2, or possibly unified problems I'm currently having

In Network and sharing Center:
1 - check FILE SHARING to ON; green light goes on (for icon) but text says CUSTOM
2 - try to turn PUBLIC FOLDER SHARING to ON but it goes straight to OFF and I get the message "RPC Server Unavailable"

of course, I can't access this computer on the network now. Other computers in my house can see me, but none can get in due to permissions; and of course this issue is stopping me from changing them


any help?

Got to Start/Run, type "services.msc" (without quotes) and check to see if the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services are enabled and running.
