WindowsXP Firewall

[Paul]

I have tried to enable WindowsXP Firewall, but when I try
I get an error message: "Cannon enable shared access.
Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to
start." I do not have any boxes checked for the program
to share with anyone and I do not check any other boxes
when I try to enable the firewall.

Any Help?

Do not check "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's
Internet connection".

You would check that only if you had a home or office network with
workstations.

Greetings --

Right-click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications >
Services. In the right-hand pane, scroll down to right-click on the
Internet Connection Firewall and select Properties. Click the
Dependencies Tab. Make sure that all of the listed system
components/services are shown as started in the Services list.

Normally, you will need to have the Application Layer Gateway
Service, the Network Connections, the Network Location Awareness, and
the Remote Access Connection Manager started.
