I have three Vista machines and 3 XP Pro machines in a peer-to-peer setting.
The network function on a particular Vista machine will wrk fine and the then quit working while nothing is gin on. Sometimes a reoot will work, smetimes not. While trying to reestablish the network, the "dependency group failed to start" message appears.Most of the network service items in the services applet seem to have started. I can frequently connect to internet sites while this is going on. For example, I am typing this at a machine that refuses to connect to a network. I have looked at the configuration of the nics, error logs, Technet, the KB. I don't have any hair left to pull out so what is next? |

No, not only were there no errors, the built in diagnosis tool says there are no problems with the network. To make it even more fun, it frequently (not all of the time) gives me a message that it cannot find an in internet connection when sending a response to an online form while at the same time running a download from Microsoft and/or Peachtree.

Bob,
This is a copy of a previous post I made. I have yet to resolve the problem after reading every log file I could find on the machine. I have gone back through Local Security, network setup, deleted NICs and reinstalled them. I am at a loss. By the way, there used to be a Bob Lin at PW & Co many moons ago, any relation?

Additional piece of information on this mystery. While the machine has been
happy to run on the internet all along, it has now decided to see the other machines on the network. This works only as long as I leave network discovery turned off. It also seems unwilling to connect to networked printers. "79-911SC" wrote: Bob, This is a copy of a previous post I made.
