Determine depend on services

I've created a service in VB.Net. It seems to work just fine if I start the
service manually while I'm logged in. But if I reboot the machine, the
service fails with a socket error. I think that there may be other services
that my service depends on. How do I determine what, if any, services my
service depends on? If this isn't the correct place to post this question, I
would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction. Thank
you!

Maybe it's a firewall-related problem:

An excellent suggestion; I hadn't even thought of that! But, no joy, I had
the same problem after disabling the Windows Firewall service. I'm now
thinking it might be my TrendMicro Internet Security.
