ICS does not exist as an installed service??

[Woody]

Running XP Home on my computer, which is connected to the internet by cable
and is working.
Have set up a network to my son's computer which is runing 98SE.
When I try to run Network Setup Wizard it fails to complete, says there was
an error, but does not specify what it was.
When I attempt to manually turn on ICS by checking the ICS box on the
advanced tab of the properties dialog, I get this message "An error occured
while ICS was being enabled. The specified service does not exist as an
installed service" .
I'm not sure what it means and I don't know where to go from here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Woody,

Click Start, Run, type "msconfig". Select the Services
tab and make sure each of the following services are
checked.

Application Layer Gateway Service
Network Connections
Network Location Awareness (NLA)
Plug and Play
Remote Access Auto Connection Manager
Remote Access Connection Manager
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Telephony

Then press Apply and Close. Then try to rerun the ICS
Wizard again.

Thanx for the reply.Unfortunately all the services were already checked.
any other suggestions??

Then go to Start, click Run and type "Services.msc"
(without quotes) and click Ok. Verify that the services
are running and enabled. Double click the service and
select the Logon tab. Select the General tab, set the
startup type to Automatic. Press Apply and Okay. Then
shutdown and restart your machine.

Tried your suggestions but still no luck.
Anything else you can suggest?

What about the " Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS)" service? Does it show up in services.msc?
