Which network components needed for networking

[Marthax]

Greetings Everyone!

I've been testing to remove a lot of things with nLite in order to be able to remove as much as I can and at the same time have a fully functional computer that suits my needs, in this case connecting to the internet. I've been researching about all services that I remove so that I'm sure that I don't remove anything essential. However, as soon as I remove some services from the services section, obviously, my network refuses to work which means that I cannot connect to my other computer across the network. The services that I have removed are these:

- Alerter

- Application Layer Gateway

- Autoupdate

- Background Intelligent Transfer

- Distributed Transaction Coordinator

- DNS Client

- Error Reporting

- Fax Services

- Imapi

- Indexing Service

- Messenger

- Network DDE

- QoS RSVP

- Quality Of Service

- Remote Registry

- Removable Storage

- Secondary Logon

- System Restore

- TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper

- Telnet Server

- Terminal Services

- Uninterruptible Supply

- Volume Shadow Copy

- WebClient

- Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing

- Wireless Zero Configuration

Also, to be able to get the network to work normally, I have to configure the Windows Firewall to accept this so I think that removing the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing service is causing my problem. What do you guys think? Anyone?

Thanks in advance!

ok, I managed to remove all except one. Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing. If I try removing this, my network stops working. Anyway to work around this?
