Network List Service is missing from the list of services

digital-flex · May 6, 2008

Hey Guys,

I am having this problem where in the system tray the network icon is showing incorrect information. It displays a red "x" even though I am surfing the internet. When I hover over the icon it displays "Connection status:unknown The specified service does not exist as an installed service".

I stumbled upon this post and I noticed that I am completely missing Network List Service. How do I make this option visible in the list of services? Can I somehow install this service?

TIA.

Hi Digital-flex,

Welcome to Vista Forums. :party:

You might try running a sfc /scannow command to see if it can find and fix any system files that may be causing this. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

If that does not work for you, then you can do a Repair install. This tutorial will show you how to if needed.

Hope this helps,

Have you got an unused ethernet port that is enabled or wifi that is not being used?
I came across this problem with an older computer, where I would have an x on one of my connections but a fully functional internet service.
