RPC server not available usually means it either can't resolve the name in
DNS or the machine is not reachable.

One thing that I did miss in your ipconfig /all is that I noticed both
interfaces has a gateway. Can't do that. Pick one, and that would be the NIC
on the subnet that leads to the outside world and specify the gateway only
on that one. Then test it again.
