You will have to go into Event Viewer (type event into the Start Menus search dialog box) and see if there are any pertinent entries.

Hi, Click Start, in the Start Search box type services.msc. Double-click on Network Location Awareness service, stop it, and then start. Please let us know if it works properly. If so, double-click on Network List Service and start the service. Arthur Xie - MSFT

I found this thread which I hope you are still responding to. My Acer Tablet PC running windows 7 all of a sudden yesterday will not connect to the internet either wirelessly or through a cable. I am unable to use a backup because I cannot access my server with my network down. Network and sharing center says that the dependency service or group failed to start. I used the services.msc suggestion above and double clicked the network location awareness service which was stopped and attempted to start it. It failed and delivered the following message: "Windows could not start the Network Location Awareness on Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this is a non-Microsoft service, contact the service vendor and refer to service-specific error code - 1073741502. Also, when I try to start the Network List Service, it gives me the 1608 - the dependency service or group failed to start. Please help.
