I have disable a few services in nLite and now internet always get stuck at acquiring network address. What have i done wrong? anyone knows? but my internet still works!! did i do anything wrong? or is it just some bug of windows? i noticed under "Network Connection Details", that the lease obtained and expire is the same.

I'm having the same issue and I'm embarrassed to say that I'm not sure which service(s) are needed but there was talk about it on the forum, try searching and please let me know if you find it.
It works with simple Refresh in the Connections window but that gets annoying eventually.

You have disabled DHCP Client service.

Enable it for it to stop acquiring network address, but Internet will still work even if you don't enable it .

Is this any help?

But in msconfig, i see DHCP Client & DNS Client as "running"! but i sometimes is able to fix the problem by using

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

and/or

"restarting"(untick the service then apply, then tick the service then apply) the DHCP client & DNS Client in msconfig

strotee76, almost...he isn't completely sure that it's NLA and I vaguely remember trying it and it didn't help...there are probably more services needed.

Try enabling:

Application Layer Gateway

and/or

Network Connections

its not with NLA as i have the same problem and i dont remove anything with nlite. i also checked NLA is running. i also tried network setup wizard.

Blah today I kept everything while testing something, just integrated few hotfixes and ie7 and same problem occured. So I'm doubting on the IE7 integration for now.

Two main suspects in my book: NLA and WMI. If the connection is working, but the icon doesn't stop animating, manual fix: right click on the icon, "open network connections", press f5, close window.

Hi

i had the same problem and it turned out, i had "Enable IEEE 802.1x authentication for this network" option checked in the "Authentication" properties of LAN adapter.

Once unchecked it got connected with the right icon.


hope this help if not let me know i ll dig up the link.

Regards.
