| Vista Home Premium 32bit | DHCP Service Cannot Start (Error 5) I've searched through here a bit and it seems like others have had this problem, hoping I can find a solution. Recently bought a new machine after my old computer's motherboard died. HP desktop running Vista Home Premium, 3GB ram, 3 ghz processor. Networking was working fine at home, and I was actually enjoying the whole experience more than I expected coming into Vista. Yesterday I took the computer to a LAN party, and as soon as I got there the problems began. On startup at the LAN party, I noticed that the network connection icon had the red x, and said network status unknown. After about an hour of searching around, I found that the issue stemmed from the DHCP Service's inability to start properly. (Also, ironically, the system event viewer service is unable to start as well, which restricts me from viewing the error log, as far as I can tell.) Some system info I've seen requested before related to this problem: Code: Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6001]

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: DHCP Service Cannot Start (Error 5) Shao, Thank you for the post, but the link in that thread did not solve my problem... When I attempt to start the DHCP Service (I've set it to manual now, otherwise the boot sequence of my computer takes forever as it tries in vain to start the service, and I've been restarting a lot), it takes a while and gives an error that the service did not respond in a "timely manner." Should I be still be logging on to the service as "Local Service" even though I've added "Network Service" with those permissions? |

| Ultimate SP1 x64 & x86 | Re: DHCP Service Cannot Start (Error 5) I do not know why, but DHCP seems not to have enough permissions in the registry? Would you verify and post the permissions given to DHCP (including special permissions if any) in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp\Configurations And the permissions given to trustedinstaller in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS\Parameters |

| Ultimate SP1 x64 & x86 | Re: DHCP Service Cannot Start (Error 5) Well, everything lokks fine, just maybe a "user" having no read rights in DHCP and DHCP/cofigurations In these 2 keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dhcp\Configurations Add the user: "Network configuration operators" with read rights only. The name of the user is a translation of the french registry, so it may be different. Mahe sure that in the last key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS\Parameters SYSTEM ADMINISTRATORS USERS Have read rights only. Rebooy and try to start the service. These modifications cannot hurt the system! If does not work, we'll try something else, i have to check one more thing on my side. |

| Vista Home Premium 32bit | Re: DHCP Service Cannot Start (Error 5) The translation of Network Configuration Operators must be wrong, Windows is not allowing me to add a user with that name... Any ideas? The permissions in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DPS\Parameters are all read where you say they should be. |

| Ultimate SP1 x64 & x86 | Re: DHCP Service Cannot Start (Error 5) You have to find the right name  In permissions, click on ADD then in the new window, click Advanced and new window click Find Now. In the list find the user similar (almost) to "network configuration operator" |
