Hi Drew,
This is not likely to be a virtualisation issue, hence why there are no replies.
RPC = Remote Procedure Call and is a communication mechanism between processes.
While RPC can be broken, it is rare to see this happen on multiple machines, virtual or physical.
So in that case it is probably more sensible to look for the common denominator.
A common cause of interfering with RPC is antivirus software.
The problem with that is that just disabling it usually isn't sufficient to rule it out as most antivirus software uses all kinds on unsupported hacks in order to do what it wants.
Unless you are using Microsoft Antivirus my suggestion is to -at least temporary- uninstall any antivirus product in the VM and try if your problem still occurs.
