Shared Internet Connection- Please Help Me

[Rjai Elliott]

I set my internet connection to shared and firewalled
(through advanced option on properties) so the other
users on my home network can connect to the internet.
This works fine until the PC with the internet connection
is restarted, then instead of the advanced tab for
setting these options it just says:

"Windows cannot display the properties of this
connection. The windows management instrumentation (WMI)
information might be corrupted. To correct this, use
system restore to restore Windows to an earlier time
(called a restore point). System Restore is located in
the System Tools folder in Accessories."

I have tried different restore points none of which have
any effect. To resolve I have to set-up the home office
(using the wizard) again it then comes up with an error
message:

"An error has occurred during the wizard"

I then reboot and reconnect to the internet and it saves
the properties till the next reboot. Is there any way to
stop having to do this. ie. so the network connection
saves the sharing properties i set?

1. open a command prompt

4. If it succeeds, then try the advanced tab again. If it fails, keep
reading
