-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to run Rpings.exe, Rpings_a.exe, or Rpings_m.exe on Microsoft
Windows NT Server version 4.0, you may receive the following error message:

  Could not find Rpcdce4.dll

CAUSE
=====

The Rpcdce4.dll file must be located in the \System32 subdirectory, however the
Windows NT Server version 3.51 setup does not install the file by default. The
file is not included on the Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0 compact
disc.

WORKAROUND
==========

Locate the file on the Windows NT Server version 3.51 compact disc. Copy and
expand it to the \System32 subdirectory on the local hard disk. You can also
copy it from another computer that is running Windows NT Server 3.51.
