Every 3 or so reboots, I open up the web browser but there is no network connectivity. I check the wireless network link and it's down, unable to connect to any wireless networks in range because the "Wireless Zero Configuration" service failed to start on computer startup.
If I open up the services dialog and manually start up the WZC service, I can then connect to wireless networks without any problems.
What makes this difficult to diagnose is its unpredictability - some startups are fine, others the service fails to start.
I always shutdown my laptop properly, and never hibernate it.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Update:
I can see the following errors in the Service Event Viewer which were logged when my computer was booting up:
Error 1:
The IP address lease 192.168.0.3 for the Network Card with network
address XXXXX has been denied by the DHCP server 192.168.0.1 (The
DHCP Server sent a DHCPNACK message).
Error 2:
The Genesys Logic USB Controller NT 5.0 service failed to start due
to the following error:
The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because
it has no enabled devices associated with it.
Error 3:
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) failed to load:
KPSYSDRV
Error 2 doesn't seem related, but errors 1 and 3 look suspicious.
are there any error messages in the eventlog that shed some light on this? Are the dependencies of WZO-starting up as expected? See any error messages prior to the failure of WZO in the eventlog – pavsaund – 2009-07-29T10:55:25.573
I assume this is on Windows XP? – Ivo Flipse – 2009-07-29T11:00:17.153
@pavsaund - I added the event viewer messages.
@Ivo - Yes, windows XP. – LeopardSkinPillBoxHat – 2009-07-29T11:08:07.840
