System Error -- Event ID 7011, WZCSVC Timeout Error

[Ryan Cabanas]

I'm running Windows XP Home w/ SP2 on a Sony Vaio PCG-FXA47. I have a
Linksys 802.11b wireless network card that I use. I often hibernate
my computer, but I got an error message for the first time today (this
exact message anyway) after waking up from hibernation. This is what
I did.

I was getting to hibernate my computer, so I clicked on the tray icon
to remove the wireless network card. Waited until the bubble message
came up saying it was okay to remove the network card and then removed
it. After removing it, I then put the notebook into hibernation.

After waking my notebook up from hibernation, I was looking at the
event viewer and saw in the system log this error message:

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7011
Date: 10/18/2004
Time: 4:00:40 PM
User: N/A
Computer: PCG-FXA47
Description:
Timeout (30000 milliseconds) waiting for a transaction response from
the WZCSVC service.

I know that it's basically saying that the system was waiting for the
Wireless Zero Configuration Service to tell it something, but I don't
know what. Was it thinking that the network card was still there?
Should this error message concern me?

Thanks for the help.

Follow-up to my own post:

Well, this error is consistently showing up in my log whenever I wake
from Hibernation and the wireless network card is not installed. The
time stamp for the error log entry is right when the notebook is
waking from Hibernation. Although that's true, I think that the
problem is that somehow during Hibernation, I think that the computer
is waiting for the Wireless Zero Configuration Service to respond
about configuring the network card, but it's not responding because
the card isn't there. But the computer has absolutely no activity
when in Hibernation, right? So that theory doesn't work. I'm not
sure when these 30 seconds are happening. When is it that the network
card isn't responding? If I take the network card out and then go to
hibernation in, say, 10 seconds, and then when waking from hibernation
in about 10 seconds and immediately sticking the network card back in,
that should be just under 30 seconds, so I don't see when the system
is accounting for these 30 seconds.

I know that things still work well (I can connect to the network and
all works fine), but I still don't like error messages in my logs.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think I may have found the problem. Will still need further
testing.

After having installed SP2 on XP Home, I just now went to the
properties of my wireless network connection. There is now a new
check box labeled, "Notify me when this connection has limited or no
connectivity." I think that this may be the reason for the Event
Viewer System log error messages. This box seems to be checked by
default, so I unchecked it. I'll see if the error entries in the log
disappear. This same check box is also found in my ethernet card's
properties dialog box, so I unchecked it there too because I think
that that was the cause for my "Netman Timeout" error messages, as
well.

Nope. Unfortunately, this has not helped. I took my wireless network
card out the other day and hibernated my computer. When it came back
up, the WZCSVC error was in the log again. When I put my wireless
network card back in, the error will go away. Bummer.

This thread is old, but there was no resolution .. I'm running into the
same problem and would like to understand what is going on. Does
anyone know of the root cause yet?

Thanks!

Know that it's cause by Wireless Zero Configuration service , but why is
it happening ( HW or OS problem? ) ... that's the root cause I'm looking
for.

Thanks!

WZCSVC is running is running?

Like I said it's a waste of my time and yours for me to help. I have very
little knowledge of this service.

Check with wireless or other networking news groups.
I use Web based news reader.
