Problems in XP Firewall and in Internet Connection after install S

[Guest]

Hi

I have installed Windows XP Professional Edition and I have a ADSL
connection to the internet.
I installed XP SP2, after this installation I cannot turn on the XP Firewall.

I choose the firewall tab in control panel, it says that is going to start
WF/ICS service and then it shows the Firewall Panel with Enabe and Disable
option in grey and disabled.

I check in the Services and ICS service is strated.

The internet access is ok for 4-5 minutes, and after that, even I'm still
connected, all the Internet sites that I try to connect to show me Page Not
Displayed message.

Could you please help me?

Thanks
Nuno

type the following (or copy/paste)
netsh winsock reset
reboot

By the by do you have any third party firewall installed on your
machine?Also check your group policy.
