Firewall won't enable?

[Guest]

I tried to enable XP firewall and I get a message telling me Security center
cannot turn on windows firewall. I tried manualy through the control panel,
through the security center, and through the help pages, all with the same
result. What do I need to do to turn the firewall on?

Hi

Please try this:

Start/Run --> cmd.exe

and then, in the command prompt that opened up, type:

netsh.exe winsock reset

and hit Enter. Follow prompts and reboot.


If that didn't work, see if registering the following DLLs helps:

From Start/Run, run the following commands:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll

then

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netman.dll

Then do a reboot.


Please post back what the outcome was
