The Network List service works with the Network Location Awareness service to keep you (and your applications) informed of the status of your network connections. With this service disabled your ‘Network and Sharing Center’ won’t be able to detect the status of your network connection. You also won’t get any status information from the Network Connection notification icon in the tray. If you don’t rely on those features, you might be able to get away without this one.

fyi i have noticed a quite a few people having problems with the network and sharing centre not recognising private networks especially on wireless
restarting this service appears to kick the system into life. all I have to do now is find out why it takes so long in the first place
