ICF/ICS

[malcolm]

I'm totally stuck - I have a XP Home machine with a cable
modem and 10mbps Network card connecting to the rest of
my network

In both connections properties the advanced tab is clear
ie ICF/ICS should not be active for these connections

I'm trying to install a combined router/firewall/nat etc
which requires ICF/ICS diabled and every time I run the
install it says There is an active ICS or ICF process, I
can't work.

I'm lost - can anybody help

Some programs incorrectly think that ICF is enabled if the service
that implements ICF is running. Try this:

1. Go to Start | Run | "services.msc" and disable the ICF/ICS service.
2. Do the installation.
3. Go to Start | Run | "services.msc" and enable the ICF/ICS service.

Are you sure that you need to install software to use the
router/firewall/nat? I've seen those units come with an installation
CD, but I never use the CD.
