I would first run ipconfig /release & ipconfig /renew (open command prompt as admin)

To make sure it wasn't just an issue communicating with the dhcp server.

If that doesn't work then make sure the dhcp server is up and running correctly. Its probably part of your router. Which you can access via the router address in a web browser

Ran those commands got the output

Windows firewall service is failing to start either, dependencies error.

DHCP on router working fine. Shows limited connectivity only on my netbook .

have tried starting all the drivers listed in dependencies under DHCP server.

Start -> Run -> 'services.msc' Scroll to the bottom and make sure the Wireless Zero Configuration service is started. If it is stopped or disabled, Right click the service -> All tasks -> start (or restart if its already started).


If you are still having the connection problem, Type or copy each command one at a time into an elevated command prompt (run as administrator) then hit "enter" after each one, then reboot your machine.


netsh winsock reset catalog (reset winsock entries)

netsh int ip reset reset.log hit (reset TCP/IP stack)


do you have any third party wireless managers on the pc?

Try this Fix for the firewall.

@parnam Hey the DHCP working fine, however the firewall wont start, i used MSE uninstalled it. Used One Core cleanup tool. post which when i try to start firewall services it gives me errror 1068, dependencies error. I checked the dependencies they are all working fine.

Did you try the fix posted above?

Forgot to mention above that i tried the fix above, it detects the issue and says that the firewall service failed to start, if i go onto services try to start it gives me an error 1068.

Okay lets try this.

a. Click Start, type services.msc in the Start Search box.
b. Select Services in the Programs list. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click Continue.
c. Right-click Telephony and then click Properties.
d. On the General tab, click Manual next to Startup type.
e. On the General tab, click Start under Service status, and then click OK.
f. Repeat steps 3 - 5 for the Remote Access Connection Manager service and for the Remote Access Auto Connection Manager service.

Another Option

Click Start, Run and type Services.msc
Right-click the Network Connections entry
Set its Startup type to Manual
Click Start to start the service
Right-click Windows Management Instrumentation
Set its Startup type to Automatic
Click Start to start the service.
Then start the BFE service first then the Windows Firewall service.


If its still not working after that open an elevated command prompt again and run sfc /scannow

Also check out this post seems to solve the problem.

Unable to start Windows Firewall

Tried all the options, fortunately with the 3rd one i could get BFE running(BFE registry changed). However the firewall is still stopped, firewall registry couldn't be changed. This time i got the error 1079 which says the account specified for this service is different from the account on other services in same process, changed the log on from Local services to local system then im getting an error windows couldn't start the firewall, for more details check system event log, if using a 3rd party firewall then contact vendor and specify the service specific error code 1753. I have contacted HP for this as well, they advised me system recovery, which would b the last option.

what was the results of the sfc /scannow?

Are you using any 3rd party firewalls? If so uninstall them.
