This happens 10-20 times after a reboot.
I don't really see any remote access here. The webserver somehow tries to access a local file that seems not to be present. So your first concern that someone is trying to phone home is clearly unjustified. What the actual page is that is tried to be loaded is unclear to me, I don't have the ni-rpc subdirectory in the NI WebServer tree. However it would seem some rpc configuration or such for interprocess communication between NI services. That could be related to CAN, DAQmx, or any other device driver but it stays clearly on your local machine. The only service that I'm aware of that actually tries to phone home without being explicitedly invoked by the user is the NI Update Service and that is for obvious reasons.
