XP Firewall

[Alex Moore]

I am trying to set up the firewall on Windows XP Pro. The
problem is I keep getting an error message and it won't
allow me to set it up. The error is below. I think it has
something to do with the fact that I am using DSL.


An Error Occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was
being enabled.

The dependancy service or group failed to start.

I really have no idea how to fix this one.

Go to admin tools>services find the firewall (ICF) click
on properties and the dependencies, all of these must be
turned on to enable the firewall

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.
