DHCP Client Service is missing from the services pane

This has just happened following a drastic XP recovery exercise on the PC. I
cannot pick up an dynamic IP address from my DHCP server on my XP Home PC
because the DHCP Client service is not running. I cannot start the service
because it does not appear in the services list in control panel. If I search
on 'dhcpcsvc.dll' that shows the dll is present in the system filestore. I
can use a static IP address OK! HELP!!!

SP3 issue?
