Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Like the others, I too am having the problem. I can connect to the
internet and can print to a networked printer, but I cannot access other
computers on the network and they cannot access the portable that is the
source of the problem. I tried to do the things suggested in the
thread, i.e. restore and then sfc /scannow. As suggested by one of the
notes, when the scan was complete I was told that there were some
corrupt files, but unlike others, I still had the same problem. Now
what? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
I've got the same problem described here--I've run the file scanner, but
the results state that there are files that have not been repaired, and
I get directed to a log file that is a 15MB txt file--I can't make heads
or tails of it. Anyone have further suggestions?
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
I am having the same problem as everyone else here. When I run the
sfc/scannow command it comes back saying "Windows Resource Protection
found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of the problem." When I
attempt to start the services manually I get back "Error 5:Access is
denied." A list of the automatic services that are not starting is:
Base Filtering Engine, DHCP Client, Diagnostic Policy Service, Ike and
AuthIP IPsec Keying Modules, IPsec Policy Agent, Network List Service,
Network Location Awareness, TPM Base Services, and Windows Firewall. MY
anti-virus software (Trend Micro) cannot find any viruses. It seems
like the root service problem is the Base Filtering Engine. Any help
would be greatly appreciated!
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Update Trend Micro on all of your computers that you can. On the one that
you can't, go to the Quarantine folder and see if it has files from the
Windows folder, especially NLA Service, wextract ... IF you had received an
alert or Trend Micro scan alert concerning a Trojan.Generic or Trojan.ADV,
and these files are in the Quarantine folder, restore the files. DO NOT
delete the files. If they have already been deleted, use another computer to
go to the Trend Micro website and look for Home Support ... this is a known
problem that occurred recently.
If you have not yet installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1, and you can get
Windows Update to work, you might try installing the Service Pack. Good luck

Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Hello All,
I've been reviewing all of your posts and have the same problem myself
on a laptop OEM installed w/ vista. I recently updated to SP1 to
attempt to correct these issues and had not prior, but had post SP1 run
the sfc /scannow command which returned to me that there were no errors
found.
I know that a discrepency existed with earlier versions of windows
where if you ran sfc /scannow after having a service pack installed that
the sfc module would find an issue with system files (updated by the sp)
and attempt to replace them, causing other issues and requiring
re-installation fo the sp.
I'm wondering if this contingency still exists, or if sfc recognizes
system files updated by the sp and looks for the updated versions.
Also, FYI: In researching this issue, among the dozens of individuals
who have given up and re-installed to fix this issue, I stumbled upon
this other possible solution which seems to be more of a manual way to
address the issue rather than relying on windows (seemingly not always
accurate) 'system file checker'.
I hope this info helps someone else. I have yet to attempt to apply
this to my individual situation, as the laptop belongs to someone else
(so glad I didn't buy vista yet )
I'll be watching for thread updates, I hope we can identify a
_difinitive_ solution
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Ok, i have decided to post something in relation to this thread as i
'think' its relevent and i need HELP!
im not a comp nerd...but try really hard to understand what goes on in
my laptop (HP Pavilion dv 6700)
Ok, so this is what the deal...bottom right in the notifcation bar the
2 computer screens have a red cross through it...as i hold the mouse
over it, it says,
"connection status: unknown
The dependency service or group failed to start"
(i no thats not right, there should be a signal showing a world symbol
flashing and all...)
i CAN connect to the net, browse the net...but when trying to download
a 'patch' thingy (not me, my boyfriend was trying to download the WoW
new patch) it kept saying that there is a firewall preventing the patch
being downloaded..
ok, so im thinking it had something to do with the net status as well
saying "unknown"
not sure what else to post here to describe what the problem is... but
yeah...
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
Basically a friend of mine is having problems with a new Dell laptop
preinstalled with Vista.
As of Saturday, internet connection has gone from within the University
network. She can access the network but the OS wont recognise the
gateway and defaults to a 169.x.x.x IP address.
Having looked at the events etc, a Windows update occurred on the
afternoon of Friday 17th - possibly SP1 - and since the reboot over
night it wont connect.
Error showing is "Dependency service or group failed to start" on the
network icon in the tray. Have tried "sfc /scannow" as recommended by
various individuals on the net but certain files that are identified as
corrupt can not be fixed and a log some 15mb is created in the process.
Print Spooler is running fine but am unable to start a number of
services that are set to automatic (DHCP, Diagnostic Policy and a few
others).
Event viewer isnt showing much and there are a few other things I need
to check including, "unable to gain access to user store" which is
associated to a network orientated (possibly WiFi) driver.
Re: Help! Dependency service or group failed to start
hi everyone...I had the same problem and this seemed to work for me and
a few computers :
go to start menu and type cmd in the search bar and open cmd with
administrator rights
1.type netsh winsock reset and hit enter....nevermind if it sais
something about an error
2.type netsh int ip reset and hit enter....
3. restart you computer...and the error should be gone and the internet
working
