What are core XP network services required for internet connectivi

[Guest]

Hello,

Trying to troubleshoot system degradation performance issues so i have used
the MSCONFIG utility to boot up XP Sp2 in Diagnostics mode so that i am only
loading the absolute bare bones essentials. But problem is i would like
internect connectivity as well to test bandwidth performance without having
to load all the other windows services.

Does anyone know ONLY the list of WinXP core services for internet
connectivity or how abouts i can go about loading ONLY those core internet
services (besides using MSCONFIG) at boot up.

Thanks

This depends upon how you connect to the internet. Instead of trying to guess
what you need, here's an excellent reference:

And here's an excellent free tool to use for more versatile listing / disabling
of autostarted programs and services:
