Unknown connection status - unable to connect to the Internet, Vista

Hello. My computer was working fine last night, but when I started it today, I couldn't go online. When I move the mouse over the network and the share icon in the lower left corner of the computer, he said: "the dependency service or group could start unknown Connection status. When I try to diagnose the problem, I can not because the diagnostic policy Service is not running. When I go to the Open Service Control Manager, access is denied.

Meanwhile, I keep getting warnings that my firewall is not enabled. When I try to enable it, I get a message that Security Center can't turn on.

I ran Avast and he found nothing wrong. I tried to do a system restore, but that did not help. I tried to go to "Connect to the Internet" via the control panel and network layout and I was told that the wizard has encountered an error and could not connect. I can't connect and I can't always turn on a firewall. What should I do? Please help me.

Hello

Maybe an update caused the problem, although it could have been something different.

Try a restore of the system to a point before that happened. And immediately thereafter enter
Control Panel - Windows updates - top left settings and set it to download and informs you instead
Automatic. Leave it until you are sure that everything is OK and then you can add them one at a time
to troubleshoot BUT click right on and HIDE all the driver updates. If after a day or two there is no
causing problem of updates then restore the automatic updates.

To uninstall an update if you determine that there are problems - Panel - updated Windows - down left-
Updates installed - uninstall
I hope this helps.

  • Unable to connect to the internet update version

    I've updated to the latest version 35, but since then, the browser seems unable to connect to the internet. I thought it was my firewall that was blocking the program. I did what was suggested to work around this problem, that is, to remove my firewall and then add it again. But it does not solve the problem. There is nothing wrong with my internet, how am I be able to connect to internet by using IE or Chrome. And I was able to connect to the internet in the previous version of Firefox. Unfortunately, the new updated version is not allow me to. Have no solution?

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    I have Aproblem with my wireless connection

    When I go to network connection I have 3 parts:

    1-broadband: inside there is a connection to broadband in disconnected state

    2 - LAN or high speed internet: inside there are 3 parts:
    in connected state (wireless 2200 BG) wireless network connection
    connection to the local network in connected state (marvell yukon)
    connection 1394 (1394 network adapter) connected status

    3 - Assistant

    So, normally the wireless connection works. But when I unplug the ethernet cable the part with the LAN connection is not connected and I can't connect to the internet, even though the wireless is connected.

    Can someone help me?
    Thank you in advance

    Generally, it should be possible to set up the broadband connection data in the configuration of the router.
    This must be done to connect to internet.

    So if you have disconnected the LAN cable please check if the WLan switch lights and check the FN F8 key combination.
    Then check if you can see the SSID in the Wlan network connections.

    Hi all

    I can t connect to the internet.
    I searched the forum but without any determination :(

    I did everything. I have checked ipconfig nothing, check the mode safe mode with local network nothing.
    Someone said too
    "(1) once the Ethernet is connected, power of the DSL Modem. Cycle." ("Some Modem picks up the MAC ADDRESS of the network card on where it was previously connected and restarting it redétecte this new")

    How to disable the modem?
    And another question: can someone tell me what works of LAN drivers in Sat L300D-10U on XP?
    I put t even know that :(

    Help me

    Hello

    The Satellite L300D-10U belongs to the series of PSLC0E and it supports the Realtek LAN card.
    LAN driver can be found on the page of Realtek.

    You ask how to disable the modem? I think you mean how to reset modem DSL
    Well, usually your modem should support an ON / OFF button simply turn it off and then turn it back on.

    If you are unable to access the internet then you should first check if your modem is properly configured and that the right data ISP (internet service provider) was used.

    Sorry, but that's all I can say right now I think you should just check your modem settings, make sure that the NIC is properly recognized and connect the model of the laptop using a LAN cable.

    All that s

  • Unable to connect to the internet - satellite L40 cannot assign IP address

    Hello

    I have 2 desktop (1 - 1 Toshiba laptop) and 1 wired cable adsl INTERNET connection modem airties RT-101. There is no problem using the Internet with desktop XP.

    But when I plug the cable into the Toshiba (vista) Ethernet card, I can't connect to the INTERNET.
    He is unable to assign an IP address, I checked, and there's something blocking the connection I think.

    Please note that there is no problem with firewalls, because they are now closed.

    Hello

    Try to start the command console and use the command:

    Ipconfig / renew

    This should help to refresh the IP address.
    If this is not possible, then some settings must be verified.

    In this case, I recommend reinstalled the LAN driver, then check if the TCP/IP protocol settings are set to automatic.
    Disable all firewalls, check the connection of the new.

    Laptop does not detect a network, it says - undefined network.

    My firewall is active, now I use a modem to laptop...

    Sorry, but I don't understand how you have configured your DSL router/modem.

    First of all, you need to configure the router and need to insert all the data from your ISP (Internet service provider).
    Usually the model or DSL with router assigns the IP address. Therefore, only connect your LAN cable to the LAN books and you should get a connection to the DSL router/modem.

    I think that in most cases the whole process is described in the manual of the router
