Network Problem

[sodjer6]

Well here goes, couldn't find my answer searching:


I'm running Vista Home basic 64bit sp1. My Network icon displays a red-x, and when I mouseover it I get "Connection Status: unknown Server execution failed". If I try to enable Network Discovery I get this error message: "No such interface supported" and then a system message "Network Store Interface Service has stopped working". So I can't see anything or anyone on our network(three other computers connected all running XP) however I have no problem connecting to the internet.

Need more info let me know

Thanks in advance for any help

Are we talking about the computer that is connected to your router or one that is wireless. You may not have your security set for discovery and file shareing. Is your firewall on. If so temporarly turn it of and see if you still have the problem.

The computer is wired directly to the router. When I disable the firewall it changes to message in the Network and Sharing center to "Unknown The service to detect this status is disabled" if I click the more info link I get a prompt to start the Network List Service. If I click turn this on I get an error message "Windows Connect Now - Config Registrar has stopped working. Also, if I try to enable Network Discovery nothing happens. :huh:
