Error message reporting about faulting netapi32.dll and svchost.exe.

 Thanx to Slees, we no longer have to worry about those so-called
“Generic Host for Win32 Process” and “svchost.exe” errors that
  haunt our Windows XP almost daily (If not cured). Below i will
  explain what are the symptoms of this evil problem and how easily
  it can be fixed: :)
 Symptoms:

You are surfing the internet or are engaged any
type of Internet activity when suddenly all your
Network activity goes to hault.
            
You can still see the Internet connected icon in the
 tray but you cannot surf, browse or do anything.

 You get an error message something like
  “Generic Host Process for Win32 Services has
  encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
   sorry for the inconvenience.” Error message reporting about
   faulting netapi32.dll and svchost.exe.

  You try to disconnect your Internet because of no
  activity observed but the Internet icon wont disappear.
               
   You recieve an error message something
    like “Your PC has recovered from a serious problem” etc.
Solution:
Follow these simple steps and your Windows will be
fully cured of this menace :D
Close Port 445:
1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) by clicking Start menu,
     and then click the Run icon.
2. In the small box that Opens, type: regedit then click the OK
    button.The Registry Editor will now have opened.
3. Locate the following key in the registry:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServices
    NetBTParameters
    In the right-hand side of the window find an option called
    TransportBindName.Double click that value, and then delete
    the default value, thus giving it a blank value.

Close Port 135:
1. Then you must now navigate to the following registry key:
     HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftOLE
2. You will see there is a String Value called: EnableDCOM
    Set the value to: N (it should currently be Y)
3. Close the Registry Editor. Shutdown and Restart
    your computer.Well thats all :) but if you want you
    can disable NETbios.
