Re: vista dhcp client service hung on starting
This problem occurs because of a dependency between the DHCP Client service and the Protected Storage service. Security update 914388 introduces this dependency. Therefore, this problem occurs after you install security update 914388.
During the DHCP Client service's startup process, the Protected Storage service may not start. When this happens, the DHCP Client service changes its status to "Starting." The Service Control Manager (SCM) cannot start other services until the DHCP Client service changes its status to "Started" or to "Failed." The DHCP Client service takes several minutes to change its status. Therefore, the "Preparing network connections" stage of startup takes longer than two minutes.
