I checked all services and all are running except "Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
". If I try to force it to start I recieve the following error:
"Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS) service on local computer.
Error 2: The system could not find the file specified".
I should also mention that I have allready tried to fix by
re-installing XP SP2.
Below are the events that I can see relating to this issue from Event
Viewer.

I have recently installed XP SP2 on a system running Windows XP Pro.
All went well except for an issue with Windows Firewall. When trying
to turn it on I receive the following messages:
Windows Firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated
service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service?
When I choose yes I receive the following message:
Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) service.
I have not been able to find any reference to this issue on the
Microsoft Knowledgebase or TechNet sites. I fount the following
solution on another site, but it was unsuccessful in solving my
problem:
REG DELETE HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess /v
DependOnService
REG ADD HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SharedAccess /v
DependOnService /t REG_MULTI_SZ /d "Netman"
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
