you may need it to connect to the internet

Doesnty really help everytime i want to go online i need to shut down svchost.exe NETWORK SERVICE and will let me connect ???? and it uses loads of CPU usage
It gets to registring to network (Bt broadband) and stays there until i end process for svchost and then finishes its connect
Right the SVCHOST that causes problems is this one
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe -k NetworkService
I went into my Admin tools and to services and its the DNS Client that stops me making connection to internet and causes all the high CPU Usage what is this what does it do so i need it running.
When i enable it again while online internet stop responding ??????? whats going on with the DNS Client what should i so please help
It's a necessary service. As you' ve found out.
Leave it alone. It has to do with domain names and resolving their corresponding ip address.Quote:

Frankly I would be more concerned with Norton. Isn't it known to be a resource hog?
I'm curious what firewall are you using?
Im using norton worm protection when i installed system works it said i should disable windows firewall and use their worm protection will this make a different cos when i disable it and try to get online with DNS client running it still will just stand at registering you to the network and one i stop DNS client it goes to Authencating anf then completes connection ??????? what can i do i tried reinstalling my ADSL and still nothing
Also still using CPU of about 50% when running i tried flush dns and nothing happened
is it connected by ethernet or usb?
if it's connected by usb and you have an ethernet connection on the computer and modem then connect by that.
if it's already connected by ethernet try reinstalling the network card's drivers.
if it's connected by USB i guess that adsl software would have reinstalled it's drivers.
i would call your ISP and ask them what to do ;p
I have a USB Modem with no ethernet on it :( but i didnt have problems before my format and what about the CPU Usage ?????????
