Can't enable Internet Connection Firewall.

[Guest]

I try to enable the Internet Connection Firewall in my Windows XP Embedded with Service pack 1 image, but I fail doing this. I want to protect my LAN-connection

I have included the 'Internet Connection Sharing and Firewall' component in my design
To enable the firewall i have downloaded the tool 'ICFUtil.exe' and created a component according to the technical article found on MSDN. The article describes how to enable ICF during initial startup by FBA
I have included the component with ICFUtil.exe in my design. But the firewall isn't enabled by FBA

The following line is in the FBALOG
[FBALaunch] C:\WINDOWS\ICFUtil.exe /enable /Q (ExitCode: 0x80070433

If I try to run ICFUtil.exe at command prompt (for example: ICFUtil /status) I get the folowing return

C:\WINDOWS>ICFUtil.exe /statu
ICFUtil: Firewall manager not available

Any ideas on what i might have missed

Hi Tobias,

There are two new whitepapers you should check out wrt Windows Firewall:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnxpesp1/html/icf_enable.asp
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnxpesp1/html/icf_advACI.asp

Hopefully these should answer your questions.
