Hi - I still have internet access. However, when I go into wireless connections, properties, general, the TCP/IP "stack" has disappeared.
The rest are still there: Client for MS networks
File & Printer sharing
QoS Packet Scheduler
I've posted to other forums and I have had an external PC professional have a look, but not even the latter could find out what happened.
The reason I need it is that I manually set my IP address at home, but let it find it automatically elsewhere, but can't as cannot access the TCP/IP elements.
Another thing you might try is this:
Boot up in safe mode with networking.
Go into device manager,and uninstall the wireless adapter.
Then re-boot in normal mode.See if the entry gets rebuilt properly.
Also,you might check to make sure tcp/ip netbios is started.
Check your Services are Started on all PCs:
• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
• Computer Browser (computer browser will start when needed)
• DHCP Client
• DNS Client
• Network Connections
• Network Location Awareness
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Server
• TCP/IP Netbios helper
• Wireless Zero Configuration (XP wireless configurations)
• WLAN AutoConfig (Vista wireless configurations)
• Workstation
Note: You can check the services in Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services.
All of these services should be started, and their startup type should be automatic
If a service is not running, open it's properties and check the dependencies. Check each of the dependencies and see which one is preventing the service from running. Checking the event log is also a good idea here, there may be clues to what is failing.
