Hi,

I'm not sure where to look for an answer to this but.. I have lost the DHCP
on this XP Home Machine.

I was running wireless on this and a laptop but suddenly the wireless
dropped out.. I have bought a new modem-router and in trying to set it up
have discovered my problem is with the MS software.

Can anyone tell my how to get the DHCP software working again.. plenty of
posts about losing it.. none to remedy the situation.

Thanks Mo.
 
No.. and services says "Could not start the DCHP Client Service on local
computer.

Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.

Hi

See if this helps:

Right click on that Service and select Properties>Dependencies. Make sure
that the Services in the top pane are running.
 
Mo,

Type this in Start, Run.

cmd /c sc qc dhcp >c:\dhcp.txt

Then, open C:\dhcp.txt and post the contents here. By default, there should
be three dependencies listed

1. Tcpip
2. Afd
3. NetBT

Do you have NAV/NIS installed?

Mo,

The log looks fine. Are these files present in the system?

C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS\afd.sys
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\tcpip.sys
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\netbt.sys

Note that all the above three drivers need to be started (not via
Service.msc applet, but you can check in Device Manager > "Show hidden
devices" option)

thanks Ramesh.. files are in those locations.. too late for me to go further
now.. I'll try to find the start for them in the morning.. where do I find
'show hidden devices' in Device Manager .. a quick look doesn't show em
anything like that..
Mo.
 
Open Device Manager. Click View, Show Hidden Devices. Double-click Non-Plug
and Play Drivers.

Double-click AFD, and select the Driver tab.
Set the Startup Type to "System"

Repeat the same for these two drivers:

- TCP/IP Protocol Driver
- NetBios over Tcpip

Restart.
 
Many Thanks Ramesh,

I didn't know that list existed! The driver that was disabled was "NetBios
over Tcpip" .. I changed that setting and I now have things as they once
were.

For info, I lost the wireless after I uninstalled a Spybot update that was
using "Tea Timer" and forever finding changes in the registry. Still using
Spybot without that feature.

Thanks and regards Mo.
