Windows FireWall can't turn on

[Guest]

I had the AVAST antivirus then I turned off the windows firewall, now I
changed the antivirus to AVG, and I am trying to turn on the service of
"Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" but I am receiving this
message "Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS) service on local computer. Error 10047: An Address incompatible with
the request protocol was used". I have the WXP Home Edition with SP2. In the
mean time I installed the Sygate firewall.
What can I do to turn on the ICS?
Help me.
