It's a 'service' that keeps showing up ans an 'event' in the
Events Monitor...
and I'd like to know what it does for me, do I need it, what
do I lose if I disable it, or what?

Let me add the following 'event':

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Tcpip
Event Category: None
Event ID: 4201
Date: 3/17/2010
Time: 10:15:48 AM
User: N/A
Computer: COMPAQ-2006
Description:
The system detected that network adapter
\DEVICE\TCPIP_{D5E50A75-4A1C-4421-A5B4-569C9FE131B8} was connected to
the network, and has initiated normal operation over the network adapter.

Data:
0000: 00 00 00 00 02 00 50 00 ......P.
0008: 00 00 00 00 69 10 00 40 ....i..@
0010: 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

0020: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

So my follow-up question is:

I am one isolated desktop PC, hard- wired by Ethernet to my ISP via
DSL. Am I a network? Do I need a network adapter?

Google for tcpip and you'll have your answer.

Two answers to that question:

1. You are part of the network called the internet.

2. You are not part of any local network.


> Do I need a network adapter?



You don't need more than you have, but you already have one. That's
what the ethernet cable from the DSL modem plugs into--either as part
of your motherboard or as a separate NIC (network interface card).

Thanks, Ken. The reason for the specific query goes back
to the fact that Tcpip error is what is identified in Events
Monitor as what has been preventing my system from going
to hibernate if I set hibernate time for greater than 1 hour.

The Tcpip interface somehow gets repeated every hour and
I asked (and got not response) to the question of how do I
get that repeated automatic inquiry time lengthened. If it's
always one hour, it would seem logical that somewhere it is
*set* as 1 hour, and could be changed......
