Routing and Remote Access service fails to start

[eM eL]

Any idea why RRA gives the following error?
The Routing and Remote Access service terminated with service-specific error 3661
(0xE4D).

on Windows XP, SP2 with all current updates. It just quit starting some time ago
with no apparent reason. I need it to load the
IrDA stack, etc. The RPC service starts fine so perhaps the NetBios group is a
culprit..?

Any ideas?

If so, what's the fix? It is a workstation, not a server, and the error
occurs regardless of the network connection, etc.
I'm afraid that this error reported by the service manager is NetBIOS group
related (one of the dependencies of RRA.) I do remember reading something
about it in one of the KB articles but can't find it to save my life.

Thanx!

No idea really at this point. Check Event Viewer for errors. When you view
the logged events in Event Viewer (double-click them in the right-hand pane)
in the upper right corner, third button down is a copy to clipboard, then
you can paste in the body of a reply message.

Please do so for each of the different System Log events (that are a Type:
'Error' or 'Warning') since last boot so we can see all of the event detail.

Also check Device Manager for error codes and or non-starting devices.
