Cannot start Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service

A

Aditya Sinha

I am a direct line user of internet and then i share it via Lan to my other
pc. After one restart the net was not working, even the tab "share the
internet connection" was missing from my connection.

When i tried starting the "Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS)" it gave the following error:

""Error Code: 10047: Cannot start the service An address incompatible with
the requested protocol was used""

Kindly help.

Open a command prompt window (Start | Run | cmd) on the main pc and
enter this command:

netsh winsock reset

Then reboot and try using the network again.
