DHCP client and TCP/IP NetBios Helperservice not auto starting

[Guest Jack B. Pollack]

Just removed lots of spyware & viruses from a WinXP SP2 computer.

 

After removing all the junk the network connection no longer worked. I have

spent the last few days rebuilding the TCP/IP stack, removing winsock etc.

Finally I got the internet working again, but am unable to see other

computers on the network.

 

I have traced the problem down to 2 services that are not starting DHCP

client and TCP/IP NetBios Helper. They are both set to Automatic, but do not

start when the computer boots. If I manually start them the startup

(quickly) and everything works correctly.

 

Why are they not auto starting and how do I fix this?

 

Thanks

put the windows CD into the cd rom drive and do the following:

 

Start:

Run

type in:

sfc.exe /scannow

 

This will validate that all of the files are proper. After completion reboot

and then run a windows update and reboot again regardless of the results.

This should resolve the problem.

Solved it. The SecurityKey was wrong in the registry. Thanks all
