Solved Not connect to internet:Dependency group or service failed to start

[burp61]

Hello I just started having this problem. First off I own a dell xps 15 l502x.

It all happened after I unexpectedly shutdown the computer after having it on for almost 13 hours.
I turned my computer on, it booted up fine but I could not connect to any wifi network. Connecting with Ethernet did not help, a glance at device manager showed a yellow mark on the network adapter and isatap.
I decided to reinstall the wifi driver and now it connects to the wifi with limited access.
I could not get network diagnostic policy to run and trying from services to start it gives me an error 5 access denied.
In network and sharing it shows connection as unknown and the problem stated in the title.
So I do not believe it is a hardware issue, it must be software and has to be related to services because when i opened itunes, it asked me to self recover itunes service to sync. I also had to reinstall Norton because it was not starting.


I have no idea on how to fix this, can someone please help me on this dilemma. Thank You

Hi can you please disable the isatap adapter it is not required for internet access.

Also can you please verify that all your Network Services are Started.
Click on Start, type services.msc then press enter.

• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues)
• Computer Browser
• DHCP Client
• DNS Client
• Network Connections
• Network Location Awareness
• Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
• Server
• TCP/IP Netbios helper
• Wired Autoconfig is set to manual.
• Wireless Zero Configuration ( XP wireless configurations only)
• WLAN AutoConfig ( Vista/7 wireless configurations only)
• Workstation

Also can you please post an ipconfig /all for review please.

Also can you download xirrus from the link below and post a screenshot please.

Ok I was able to disable the adapter however I could not uninstall it.

Onto the services:

• COM+ Event System (for WZC issues) Started
• Computer Browser Not Started
• DHCP Client Not Started
• DNS Client Started

Trying to start the services that were not started gives an access is denied.

Here is ipconfig/all with my pc name and university name removed.

Here is the xirrius screenshot of the main page

P.S. I am not getting internet connection on the laptop through wifi or ethernet, I had to tether my iphone and use pdanet to use the modem to connect online which is how I am online right now.

In the beginning when I said I checked device manager, there was a yellow mark on the integrated webcam, isatap adapter, centrino wireless adapter, wifi minport adapter 1 and 2, tunngle in portable devices apple iphone, and the modem for pdanet. After I reinstalled the driver for centrino wireless, the yellow went away, then update driver setting for each left all but isatap, tunngle, and apple iphone normal

The computer browser service is ok stopped as long as it is set to manual and will be started when it is necessary.

DHCP client and network location awareness need to be set to automatic and started.

You get error 5: access is denied.

You need to run services as an administrator or be logged on as an administrator to do configuration changes to those services it is a permissions issue and requires elevation to admin priviledges that is why you cannot change them.

Something you can try on your Wireless network connection in the meantime is to assign a static address to your TCPIPv4 settings.

You are connecting to a router yes?

 

[burp61]

Yes and I am at home not at my college, can you tell me how to do the static ip


Starting network location awareness shows could not start error 193:0xc1
Starting dhcp client gives the same error 5 access is denied

 

[TheCyberMan]

I am going to assume your router has an ip address of 192.168.1.1 as it's address check on the label on bottom of router at home and adjust following ip settings accordingly.

Go to start>control panel>network and sharing centre>change adapter settings right click Wireless Network Connection>properties>Internet Protocol Version(TCPIPv4)>properties and set the following:

Click radio button against Use the following IP address


Set ip address: 192.168.1.254
Set subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Defaut gateway: 192.168.1.1

Click radio button against Use the following DNS server addresses

Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4

Click ok.

I have used google dns for dns.

If your router at home has a different ip address then you can adjust the settings as necessary.

I cannot help you with the static settings at college as they may not be the same ip settings you will need to find those out from their IT dept but can still use the goggle dns.

This is only a workaround until you can fix those services and then DHCP should be ok to use once DHCP client service is fixed and started.

 

[Kaktussoft]

What services give "access denied" when trying to start them?

 

[burp61]

Ok i set the static ip however it still gives me limited access when i connect to my wifi. The services which give me access denied are: diagnostic policy service, dhcp client, network location awareness, function discovery resource publication, google update service(gupdate), IKE and AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules, there are more which say either service cannot start dependency missing or cannot find file or service started and then stopped.

 

[burp61]

Any help?

 

[Kaktussoft]

Look in eventlog for more info why you can't start a service.
Focues on DHCP Client service and DNS Client service

 

[TheCyberMan]

If you are logged on as administrator and still get the error 5 access is denied when trying to strat the services try the fix below for the DHCP client service again you will need to be logged on as an administrator:

Error 5: Access is denied. when you try to start the DHCP Client service - ITExperience.NET

For the others try this logged on as an administrator and open a cmd prompt and type:

net localgroup Administrators /add networkservice press enter
net localgroup Administrators /add localservice press enter

Please type exit after they succesfully complete and press enter and restart computer.

Also from your xirrus i see you are using channel 6 same as the network below please change the channel on your router to channel 11 and re-boot router.

Please let us know how it goes.

 

[burp61]

DHCP client and service control manager is shown from 12/14 onwards where some say access is denied while others say file cannot be found.


I tried the steps above and now DHCP client is started, however it still shows limited connectivity. Can I somehow do the same steps for computer browser and network location awareness as well as diagnostic policy

 

[Kaktussoft]

Network Store Interface Service can be started? If not what error?

 

[burp61]

that service is started

It seems like either services were removed or permissions were changed.

 

[Kaktussoft]

In http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/783-elevated-command-prompt.html

reg  save  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dhcp  dhcp.hiv
reg  save  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\tdx  tdx.hiv
reg  save  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AFD  afd.hiv

Put the 3 hiv files in a zip file and post it. You can delete the files afterwards

 

[burp61]

hiv_files.rar download - 2shared

 

[Kaktussoft]

hiv_files.rar download - 2shared

afd and tdx looks normal.

dhcp: contents is same as mine. But permissions on this registry is wrong!! "Local Service" and "NT SERVICE\dhcp" don't have access!
I send you my dhcp key as dhcp.hiv (zipped) unzip and put put it in C:\windows

In elevated command prompt:

reg  restore  HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Dhcp  c:\windows\dhcp.hiv

Succesufull? If successfull stop/start Dhcp service. Works?

you may delete C:\windows\dhcp.hiv afterwards

Did you change the channel on the router to channel 11 if not please do so now.

Also please download the latest drivers for your wireless adapter card from the computer manufacturer or vendor website and install them.

 

[burp61]

Yes it was successful and I can start and stop the service


I changed my router to channel 11 however it still shows my connected wifi as limited access

 

[Kaktussoft]

in services sort the list on "state". Try to start all not already started services. Skip the services with "startup type" disabled. Some services start and stop again within a second but a popup will tell you that they did start and stop automatically because no service needs it now. That's okay!

Some services don't start because: Dependency service didn't start. So we have to solve the problem with dependency service first. Which services give this error?

Other services dont start because of other error. Give me the names of these services and the error message.

Give me all info you have!
