A good dependency might be the TDI (transport driver interface) group, which
should ensure it starts up once all the base networking support is
operational.  This is the same group that MS's workstation and server
services depend on.

If you have the MS SDK, there's a convenient utility, 'sc', there that can
be used:

   sc config inetd dependencies= +tdi

(The + means group)  I don't know if sc can be downloaded directly from the
MS site or not.

Or, if you don't mind plugging away at registry entries, the dependencies
can be found at:

   Key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\inetd
   Value: DependOnGroup (REG_MULTI_SZ)
   Data: TDI

The value probably won't be present if there aren't any dependencies, so
just create the value.  You should be able to use regtool with:

   regtool -m set
'HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\inetd\DependOnGroup' TDI
