If it is, you are finished with this article. If the problem is not fixed, you can contact Support. Antivirus software with "hidden" firewall components can do this. I have a cable modem running through a netgear router, which is heavily used many different pcs connected from time to time with no problems, the problem only ocurred immediately after running ad aware.
I felt quite snug behind the nat of the router until I started reading up, hence running ad aware! I haven't uninstalled norton, I use zone alarm, although the problem exists whether it's enabled or not. Other pcs are still getting ip automatically, just tried a repair on an unaffected pc and it's ok.
What is the 'afd' entry in dependant services? A failure of DHCP client service to start explains your issue. Is the Workstation, and the Server services started? The usual recommendation, and a good one, is to reinstall Windows as a repair or "in-place" upgrade.
A slightly off-the-official recommendation to do try for Windows XP only: 1. While eagerly awaiting you reply, I did a google on afd networking.. Lo and behold, dhcp starts! So 1: What disabled it in the first place? MANY thanks for your help, maybe this will help someone else one day! Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Services, if you look at any individual service it will show its dependencies. This is not always a completely accurate list. It lists only dependent services.
You need to use Win2k or XP resource tools such as "depends. To the Windows designers, this is a compatability mode setting and should not be needed for stricly XP-to-XP networking. Glad you got it sorted. You can adjust these later, in some cases, but check their status first.
They should be running when trying to diagnose DHCP problems. Jumping right to the bottom line, the solution to the problem was to delete the Network Bridge from the Network Connections and reboot. The problem manifested itself the same way both times, even though the problems occurred about a year apart. I had been using each PC successfully for months, turned on the PC one day, and lost network connectivity.
I had not installed any software or made any system changes during my previous session on the PC. In the second scenario, another PC in my house had a concurrent wireless connection to the router but did not experience the problem.
After unsuccessfully trying all the suggestions listed above except deleting the Network Bridge with my first PC, I resolved the problem by reinstalling WinXP. With the second PC, I also unsuccessfully tried all the suggestions above before deleting the Network Bridge. Of course, I wanted a permanent solution and so I tried deleting the Network Bridge and then rebooting.
This solution was permanent and I'm posting this reply from that PC. Hopefully this experience will help someone else with the same issue. The reason that is have founs to be the cause of most of the exact symptoms described is removal of a firewall with the firewall enabled.
As the best that i can determine, the filter stays in winsock by way of a registry key that enables the firewall. Bcastners fix has help me numerous times in fixing the problem, but most times when i run into errors such as these is simply delete and extract the winsock and wsock32 ddl's using msconfig, ensureing that thw winsock protection is disabled In that case winsock fix sorted it right away.
Adaware was not installed on the system, and neither was Norton Antivirus. The user simply stated that the battery on a laptop had died and the system went down. When the system was restarted that's when the fun began. This is a Windows system. Reg cleaners and service pack updates also didn't help. After finding this thread I tried the WinsockFix and the problem was solved. I'm using Charter Communications diagnostic tool and it says it cannot find the network connection even though the connections are enabled.
It cannot find these files. Does this sound like the same issue? Fixing a PC with bad HD. Bought new 80GB Deskstar to replace crappy old 8. Got it in. Fresh install of XP. Installed Ad Aware version 6. Did all the critical updates for XP. Internet connection and DHCP dies. I was already weeping and gnashing my teeth because of wireless networking woes suffice to say I think it's all a crock of crap When I tried to start it, it told me one of the dependencies failed to start.
And it doesnt seem to elude to which one has failed. And how do you check that anyway? Anyway, thanx to this fantastic forum here, I found the answer in the Winsock fix file. After running it and rebooting, XP automatically did a chkdsk, and found that nwlnkft.
According to some other sources online, this is some sort of IPX packet traffic filter or something like that. The chkdsk seemed to take care of it. I read above that someone said the newer versions of Ad Aware supposedly fixed this kind of behavior.
I'm pretty sure this is the newest version. I checked the forums on Lavasofts site dealing with this issue, and suggestions from the moderators are things like "completely uninstall old versions prior to installing new ones" and "keep the default search options," etc.
None of that applies to my situation. I have had to go through the same complete install process a number of times during the past month or so.
I generally install all the same stuff it's generally all stuff I have installed on my own machines and never had this problem before. I wont rule out the possibility that Netgear's Wireless Configuration Utility had nothing to do with it. This is part of the install for the wireless adapter I tried to use at first. Aside from all the usual wireless problems I always have, I had a new one - the utility would constantly start and stop, to where my system tray was constantly resizing to accomodate it.
I did uninstall the software and the driver before proceeding with any of the windows updates or anything. The point is I champion that winsockfix file as the quickest, easiest solution. And I consider wireless networking a nice bedtime story for children at least if you have a WRT54G, like me. RE: How to start DHCP client service after renew lease failed Try updating the firmware in your linksys, a friend has a linksys and brand new out of the box wouldn't work consistently, until the firmware was upgraded.
I've got various adaptors and having played around and had all the probs you've had and maybe some more besides I just don't have them any more, I put it down to now knowing what the terms mean, i. I use netgear routers, and had nightmares with the first one took DAYS to get it working at all!
One thing I have found though is be sure to uninstall any previous adaptor software before installing a new one, it just won't see a new one if the old stuff is there.
Got IP 0. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK. Right-click Winsock, and then click Delete. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes. Right-click Winsock2, and then click Delete.
Restart the computer. I hope this helps someone. This fix also works for the "Operation was attempted on something that is not a socket" error. I still had 0. I rebooted the computer, voila it worked. The theory behind it was "turn all the knobs until it does something". Anyway, just one more thing to try- miraculously, it fixed my situation, after the WinsockFix.
Was helping a customer out on the phone and it was driving us insane. Thank you a lot for it! I have Adaware 6, Build 6. Don't recall this running, but this thread points to that probably being the culprit. Excellent tool!! I'm having a similar problem with a client. Ip address 0. DHCP service will not start, it was hung up as starting. All options, start, stop etc. I changed it, re-booted it, trys to start but times out. Think the winsockfix will help?
I'm at wits end. User works with high school students who have been kicked out. She brought home a floppy and ran it without any anti-virus running. That's when the trouble started. Doing so causes the Windows XP operating system to create new shell entries for those two keys.
Glen note: WinsockFix did this already for you. If you do not restart the computer after you delete the Winsock keys, the next step does not work correctly. Click Install. Click Protocol, and then click Add. Click Have Disk.
The WinSockFix did the trick. I tried The Winsock Fix but it didn't had any effect. The sympthons are the same as stated in this topic.. It's quite likely that something naughty has stopped something, you interrupted it's activity by killing it with adaware and therefore it will stay running ok when you start it.
Use a working machine to see if a driver update is available. If that gives no joy, replace the ethernet NIC. They can act as "lightbulbs". Level three is reinstall Windows, which is not as onerous as it appears. Right-click the network connection, and then click Properties. I guess I could try to install the latest driver updates as a last shot.
SYS ,a text file,and a help file About reinstalling windows : as I understand from the page you have posted I will not have to backup all my files? Plan, with firewall enabled, to spend some time at the Windows Update site. Restart the computer Bcastner, the winsockfix did not work. But your'e suggestions after that about following the MS article did the trick. Funny, even before I re-booted the computer, I recieved a message down in the corner about Norton has just done a live-update.
Client is happy and so am I. The WinsockFix may not completely repair the issue as you found, but what it does do is rebuild 13 registry values under the Winsock2 key. I've started learning so much at TT, I need a way to keep track of it. Had Norton uninstalled the same day, and had ran adaware 6. I don't think it was norton that did it though. Thanx for all your help! Reasons such as off-topic, duplicates, flames, illegal, vulgar, or students posting their homework.

In reply to Azam K's post on November 23, Thanks for your help but when I run ipconfig, It says function not supported or something similar and doesn't give me my ip address and gateway info like its supposed to I am noticing several issues with networking. I'll try to give as much info as possible.
I did netsh winsock reset, loaded a winsockxpfix 1. Is there a Microsoft networking fix it program I can load onto it?
In reply to Jay86's post on November 26, I suggest visiting the support site of whichever company produces your computer, and downloading all the updated drivers for you model.
