I have found some errors in my events section of my computer management
console. First I fouind that my IPSEC Services is not starting and shows an
error code 1747 (The authentication service is unknown) when I bring up the
service properties and try to manually start the service. I'm looking for a
solution
that windows help and the hyperlink have not been able to supply me. This is
the error as logged:
Event Type: Error

I also found other errors showing:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: 11/5/2005
Time: 1:47:51 PM
User: N/A
Computer: DJ-HOME
Description:
The Application Management service terminated with the following error:
The specified module could not be found.

I have looked a little further in my computer management console and have
also found (under "security") that the following event is also logged:
Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Policy Change
Event ID: 615
Date: 11/22/2005
Time: 1:24:51 PM
User: NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
Computer: DJ-HOME
Description:
IPSec Services: IPSec Services failed to initialize RPC server with error
code: The authentication service is unknown.
.. IPSec Services could not be started.

I don't know how this affects the overall problem but thought I should add
it to give a better picture of the problem/s. My cable
connection is obviously working and I have noticed no other problems. The
authentication service is where I seem to lose the ability to follow the
trail to correct the situation. Where do I go and what am I looking for to
fix this?
