Firewall in Windows XP Professional

[John Buckley]

I just got this new computer, and went in to enable the
firewall, but it just gives me an error, saying a
dependency group failed to start. The company I got it
from has no idea what is wrong.

Does anybody have any ideas or suggestions.

Thanks

John

Greetings --

Right-click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications >
Services. In the right-hand pane, scroll down to right-click on the
Internet Connection Firewall and select Properties. Click the
Dependencies Tab. Make sure that all of the listed system
components/services are shown as started in the Services list.

Normally, you will need to have the Application Layer Gateway
Service, the Network Connections, the Network Location Awareness, and
the Remote Access Connection Manager started.
