RRAS and ICF error

[Mike Howells]

I'm attempting to enable RRAS but I keep getting this error message:

"ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) is currently enabled on <machinename>.
To configure RRAS, disable ICF and try again."

I do not have ICF enabled and even disabling the ICF service does not help.

Does anybody have any ideas?

Hi,

Try these steps on the command prompt:

net stop sharedaccess
sc config sharedaccess start= disabled

and then try to configure RRAS again.

I tried both of the options listed below and it still comes back with the
same error message.

You don't happen to have isa2000 installed do you?
what does "sc qc ipnat" output? does "net start ipnat" work?

I have the same issue with Win 2003 Server Enterprise Edition. I cannot
configure RRAS because the machine thinks ICS is enabled. I've even removed
and reinstalled the network cards and cycled through static and DHCP
addresses, yet the problem persists. Service is also stopped and disabled.

This problem (and the reverse ie ICS won't start because it claims RRAS
is running) has cropped up in the newgroup before.

Apparently the install checks a registry key before it will run. If that
registry key has not been reset, the install exits.

Here is a post about the reverse problem, which should give you a
pointer to the correct registry key.

You can disable the RRAS to clear a flag which informs ICS that RRAS
is enabled.

You can check the registry key at
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\RemoteAccess, value:
ConfigurationFlags,
if this value is 1, then ICS will think RRAS is enabled, clear it to
be 0
if disabling RRAS from MMC doesn't work. And in general, directly
chaning the registry key is not recommended and not supported.

I've the same issue. No ICF and no ICS enabled anywhere + service
stopped and disabled.

I can start ipnat. but RRAS's MMC still injury me.

FYI:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrateur>sc qc ipnat
[SC] QueryServiceConfig réussite(s) (does mean "successful")

SERVICE_NAME: ipnat
TYPE : 1 KERNEL_DRIVER
START_TYPE : 3 DEMAND_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : system32\DRIVERS\ipnat.sys
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : Traducteur d'adresses réseau IP (does mean
"IP network addres translator")
DEPENDENCIES : Tcpip
SERVICE_START_NAME :

I really wonder why Windows still saying ICF xor ICS is enabled ?
Please help !
