Im sharing the connection on my network card (cause its connected to my
modem) and I know how to set all that up but the problem Im getting is

An Error occurred while internet connection sharing was being enabled.

The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

every is back to default. did i miss something? plese help!

Hi.
Group Policy is not the place to look for a service.

Log to the services in Computer Management and make sure that the service

"Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" is
enabled.

If the computer runs XP Service Pack 2, the service is called "Windows
Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)".
