DHCP Client Service Won't Start - Error 1068

[Flavius]

but wouldn't that only be helpful if a system restore was

In my opinion you have seriously corrupted TCP/IP protocol
even reseting protocol no help and there is no solution on this apart System Restore/Repair install.

what caused the issue?

Very difficult to say,any stupid program,wrong driver,viruses..

The services won't start in safe mode, I can try the system restore undo, but wouldn't that only be helpful if a system restore was what caused the issue?

we can try resetting your winsock,

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type regedit, and then click OK.
3. In Registry Editor, locate the following keys, right-click each key, and rename it as winsock.old and winsock2.old HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Winsock2

restart your computer (must),

1. Type ncpa.cpl and hit enter in run, In the windows right-click the network connection, and then click Properties.
2. Click Install.
3. Click Protocol, and then click Add.
4. Click Have Disk.
5. Type C:\Windows\inf, search for nettcpip.inf and give ok. Now the tcp ip protocal will be reinstalled.

Once it completed and restart your system.

Let me know the result

I tried the netsh winsock reset catalog and it seemed to fix my issue!

Hey there. I have a similar problem to this, and I've tried everything in this post, and nothing has worked so far.

When I tried to reset the winsock, like explained by Delphin above, it didn't work. It kinda did, but kinda not:

When I rebooted back, I tried to see if I got internet, no internet. Checked the regedit, as I'm not a fan of changing stuff in there, and I saw that only Winsock2 had gotten it re-created. There was no winsock, except my winsock.old.

So I dunno, it's still broken for me....

I've also posted a complete listing off my problem over @ Nvidia problems, due to the nature of the chipset, please check there for my complete list of my problem:

So, my Ethernet is dead.... - NVIDIA Forums

If you can help, that would be AWESOME! Thanks in advance for any pointers or tips.

And have you tried reset the whole TCP /IP protocol (post 17)?

Yep!

Also, after doing all on this page, I'm not having thee NCPA.cpl stall/hang, when I try to change from public/home states, or such.
