Thanks for your reply. I have already disabled startup in the msconfig.
I'll keep trying to see what is causing this problem. Thanks again.

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.
