Look through the startup items in Msconfig for possible culprits,
especially any networking or VPN programs.

After adding the items in Step 4 and restarting the computer in safe mode
with networking the items were still there.

Did those items remain after re-starting in normal mode? If they
didn't, some program that only runs in normal mode is changing them.

It also stayed when I removed "TCP/IP Netbios Helper".

How did you remove "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper", and why did you remove it?
File and printer sharing uses that service.

But when I removed the item the network connection was lost.

What item? "TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper", or something else? Why are you
removing items at all?

I was doing trial and error by removing item one at a time to see which one
is causing the problem.

Thanks for the explanation. I'd start by disabling programs in the
Startup tab of the Msconfig program. I wouldn't disable anything on
the Services tab until I'm sure that none of the Startup items are
causing the problem. And I'd put a check mark in the box that says
"Hide All Microsoft Services" and only look at the services that
remain.
