DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer %1 using any of t

Since past two days I’m getting the following error message generated every 5 to 10 minutes in my Windows XP Pro’s Event viewer log:

“Event ID 10009
DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer %1 using any of the configured protocols”

As mentioned in the error I checked the protocols under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Rpc/DCOM_Protocols for the list of Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service protocol sequences, but here everything seems fine. I compared this with other system and there is no problem.

So can anyone please tell me what is the problem on this system?
