I am using the net.tcp protocol for various web services. When I reboot my Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit) macbook pro, the service never restarts automatically, even though that is how they are set:

The only relevant events I can see are in the System Event Log:

Error 6/9/2011 19:47 Service Control Manager 7001 None The Net.Tcp Listener Adapter service depends on the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service > which failed to start because of the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

Error 6/9/2011 19:47 Service Control Manager 7000 None The Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service failed to start due to the following error: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."

Error 6/9/2011 19:47 Service Control Manager 7009 None
A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service to connect.

This post suggests that it's something else blocking the port (in the post it's SCCM 2007 R3 Client which I don't use).

What else could be the problem? If it's something else blocking the port, how do I figure out what? When I manually start the services, they start correctly.

Dependencies are:

Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service

Net.Tcp Listener Adapter

Still no luck, but I think the problem might be that my network connection takes too long to come up. I put in a custom view of the event log, and found these items:

The first in the series says:

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Net.Tcp Port Sharing Service service to connect.
