Strange ICS error messgae

[Max]

Help please I am unable to set up Internet Connection
sharing. Every time I try to, I get the following message:

"An error occurred while internet connection sharing was
being enabled.
The service did not respond to the start or control
request in a timely fashion."

I have tried looking up this error message in Knowledge
Base as well as Google. It's like this particular error
message does not exist (I have a jpg of it)

I have set up plenty of ICS in the past and have never
come across this problem. I also get this message if I
let the wizard try and set up the connection.
Any help would be appreciated

Thank you in advance
Max

Do you have SP1 installed? Have you recently done a system restore? If you
have try installing SP1 again, as a first step.

Hi Bill
Many thanks, you were absoloutly correct. I had done a
complete rebuild and had forgotten to install SP1
I have now installed it, and everything works fine now. I
knew it was something silly!
Thanks again
