Yasin,

I have to agree with Harlan. Some more detail is required to give a more
detailed response. However, a quick Google search turned this up - I've
never actually had this happen to me but it may be what is causing your
issue.

Your previous message also mentions XP SP1 and ZoneAlarm and the closing of
services - none of which are valid substitutes for applying patches for the
OS. Were all critical updates from Microsoft installed?

Subject: Workstation service deletes itself??

I'm new here. I am in a university campus and have an ip in the network.
After installing a new windows to my machine, before plugging the LAN cable,
i do some tricks to stop virus and hacker attacks.
Some of them shown below, with the windows version on top:

WindowsXP English ServicePack1 +wu (build,2600,xpsp2,030422-1633)

closed services
----------------------
DNS client
Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)
Application Layer Gateway Service (ALG)
Distributed Link Tracking Client (trackworks)
Distributed Transaction Coordinator (MSDTC)
Error Reporting Service
Fast User Switching Compatibility
Indexing Service
IPSEC Services
Machine Debug Manager
Protected Storage
Remote Registry
Routing and Remote Access
Secondary Logon
System Restore Service
SSDP Discovery Service
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper (LMHOSTS)
Telnet
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Upload Manager
WebClient
Windows Time
Wireless Zero Configuration

and i use Norton Antivirus 2003
i also use ZoneAlarm Pro (4,5,594), ((close NETBIOS,PING,IGMP,ICMP))

but after a number of reboot (daily home usage), when i look at the
services(.msc), i see the workstation service is no more existing.

why is that? could it be a new windows update that closes(or renames) it??
