| | | | Ok, installed Vista SP1 and now there's no network icon in system tray but
actual internet access works fine. I go to taskbar properties and select
always show network icon and the icon reappears but I get the two computers
with a red X. I mouse over it and get a window "connection status unknown :
the service to detect this status is turned off." So I click the message and
I get these options: "More Information. Connect to a Network. Network and
Sharing Center". I click more information and a box pops up asking me do I
want to turn on Network List Service. I click "turn this on" and windows
brings up the UAC prompt for Network and Sharing Center. I click continue
but the network icon does not change to a globe even after a reboot. I go
into the list of services in the Administrative Tools control panel and
attempt to turn on Network List Service there and I get this message "The
Network List Service service on Local Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or
programs." The services which this service depend on all are running,
although there also is the TCP/IP Protocol driver and NSI Proxy service
whose status I don't know. SL UI Notification Service which depends on this
service won't start. This worries me as this service has to do with
activation and I don''t want my (genuine) copy of Vista suddenly becoming
unactivated!

Why in the world did you install SP1 before the final edition is released?
In any event, if you can uninstall it do so and/or run System Restore to see
if that solves your problem.

You are getting that notification service because you installed BETA version
SP1.

I've installed the official x86 file from MS versions from MSDN
subscription site (file and DVD.) I have the same result. The Windows
Logs:Security indicate that "Code integrity determined that the image
hash of a file is not valid." and goes on to mention tcpip.sys. I am
running vista Business with all current patches and no hacks of any
sort. The machine has not had any beta versions of the SP installed on
it. As a result of the securty issue with tcpip.sys, several secure
services will not stay up. These include cryptographic services, dns
client, network location awareness and terminal services. There is now a
file available on MS Downloads. I'll try that tomorrow.
Googling returns a result that indicates that the bug should be
reported to MS by whatever means were used to obtain the beta code.
These files are not supposed to be beta.

I get a similar error after installing SP1 RTM from Download Center. Here is
the XML description of the error.

There seems to be something wrong with netprofm.dll. It shows version
0.0.0.0 bit both netprofm.dll in system32 and syswow64 have 6.0.6001.18000.
Perhaps a setting went wrong (why "netprofm.dll_unloaded"?)

see
http://www.vistax64.com/vista-networking-sharing/140810-network-access-limited-connectivity.html
for possible quick fix. Looks like it may be A/V software making
"unexpected" changes to registry permissions.

Thanks larso006, but I haven't got any A/V program installed on my x64 system
(except Windows Defender, please don't start a discussion about security
threats)

I contacted MS Support today, and together the problem has been resoved.
There is probably a problem with permissions.
The first step was to open a command prompt with administrative privilegues
(use the start menu's search function, if you don't know where to find it.
Right click on it, then select to start with administrative privilegues,
confirm the action by clicking continue).
Type in:
net localgroup Administrators localservice /add
this will add the local service computer account to the administrators'
group. Please note that the group name may vary from a language version to
another (e.g. in German Windows it is Administratoren !!!)
If this command was successful restart your computer (if it is not
successful you could be using a wrong command line or the local service
account is already in the administrators' group -> ???). On my PC the red
cross disappeared - insted I get to see the world globe indicating internet
access.
I don't know whether this can be a security risk, maybe one wants to
evaluate this.
I hope this helps at least some of you.

I have found this problem on other Vista machines and have identified
the service that controls this function
-------
Problem:
connection status: unknown
the service to detect this status is turned off
Incorrect network connection status displayed on network icon.
-------
Solution:
Services>Network list service
by setting this service to automatic and starting it, the globe
correctly appears on the network icon.
