You may have been hit by the RPC worm that's now in the wild. Apparently
the MS03-026 patch for the RPC security flaw introduces a DOS vulnerability
in the DCOM service which causes that service to crash, which in turn would
generate a number of svchost.exe errors. After applying the patch, turn off
the DCOM service, and follow the removal instructions for the worm

Subject: [windows2000] svchost.exe
System is Win2K SP2.
In last two days, periodically, a popup window appears saying that
<svchost.exe> had unexpected error
and closed. In same time frame, my dial up to ISP, via TCP/IP starts
acting weird in that when I right-click
on the icon of the 2 desktops and then click on "Status", instead of getting
the properties page for that
connection I get nothing.
Are the two related? What is svchost.exe and how do I diagnose/solve the
problem?

What's keeping you from getting more from your terminal servers? Did you
know, in most cases, CPU Utilization IS NOT the single biggest constraint to
scaling up?! Get this free white paper to understand the real constraints &
how to overcome them. SAVE MONEY by scaling-up rather than buying more
servers.
