Network Location Awareness Service

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

If you aren't using XPs firewall or ICS, you do not even need the NLA
service. If so, set it to disabled.

Start | Run | Type: services.msc | OK |
Scroll down to and double click: Network Location Awareness (NLA) |
Startup type: Disabled | Apply | OK | Close Services.
