Hi, need help with Windows 7 Enterprise. I have two computers that recently failed to boot when connected to the network. Symptoms: very long "please wait" phase of booting when the network cable is connected when disconnected it starts up fast... Possible cause: network location awareness SVC issue, which results into Computer browser SVC issue Faulting application name: svchost.exe_NlaSvc, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bc100 Faulting module name: WS2_32.dll, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bdb4a Exception code: 0xc0000409 Fault offset: 0x0000518f Faulting process id: 0x59c Faulting application start time: 0x01cc3bb5a3f1b78c Faulting application path: C:\Windows\system32\svchost.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\WS2_32.dll Report Id: 27e3e292-a7ac-11e0-a541-002564abf67a Other: When booted wo/network works correctly. After plugged into network freezes ocassionally (ussually when checking settings of network card settings) Also SAFE mode WITH networking works correctly. Any idea?

Update: Solved - in safe mode uninstall all network adapters even the hidden ones. After reboot and detection of network adapters computer looks working correct.
