ICS and firewall stopped working

[Guest]

the internet works fine on this computer, but not on the other computers on
the network. ICS and the windows firewall used to work, but one day they
suddenly stopped.

i went to Administrative Tools --> services and i saw that the "Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" service was not started. so i
tried to start it and i got an error mesage that reads:

Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service on Local Computer.

Error 10047: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.


i went to Administrative Tools --> Event Viewer and i found an error that
seems to relate to the problem. the error was under 'system':

Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7023
Date: 07/02/2005
Time: 2:34:02 PM
User: N/A
Computer: DENISE
Description:
The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service terminated
with the following error:
An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at

if someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Is ICS enabled on this computer? If so, disable ICS and then
re-enable it.

Don't change the IP address of the home (LAN) network connection that
ICS uses. The only supported address is 192.168.0.1.
