The dependency service or group failed to start

You'll probably think I shouldn't complain about this, because my Del
Vosto laptop connects perfectly via my Netgear router. But the icon i
the System Tray has a red cross through it, and the message it display
is: Connection Status Unknown: The Dependency Service or Group Failed t
Start.

I use Trend Micro Internet Security for anti-virus and firewall, s
tried turning them off. Still no good. I've gone into the Network an
Sharing Center, where it says Network Discovery and File Sharing ar
both switched off. When I try to switch them on I merely get the sam
message (The Dependency Service or Group Failed to Start)

So: how do I start them? Or do I just say what the hell, at least I'
connected
