can not configure incoming connections.

[Ankit Shah]

I was trying to make a new connection by using the "Create a New
Connection". I click on "Setup and Advanced Connection" and then I click
next. Then I click on incoming connection and then I click next. Once I
click next my computer freeze my computer for five to ten minutes and then
gives me this error message. "Incoming Connection depends on the routing and
remote access service which was unable to start. For more information, check
the system events log". I don't know what to do. Before I reinstall windows
XP, I thought one of you genius might have a better idea than reinstall
windows again. I have received so much help from this newsgroup so I thought
I asked before I go reinstalling anything.

Hi Ankit,

When u configure the incoming connections, "Routing and remote access
service" should automatically start. (the dependent services may not be
started in u'r case.)

try this,

1. Run -> Services.msc ( u will see services wizard)
2. Go to Routing and Remote access service. -> right click ->All tasks ->
start the sevice.
3. If the service is disabled, Right click -> properties -> Startuptype ->
make it Manual -> Apply , then start that service.
4. If it says " Routing and Remote access service " can't be started
because the dependent services are stopped then follow steps 2 and 3 to
start all the dependent servies......u will see the dependent services tab
in the properties wizard.

After starting Routing and Remote access Services , configure Incoming
connections....

Reply to this mail , if this does not help....

thanks,
vamsi.

Hi Vamsi,

That was great advise, and tried what you have said but it still giving me
an error message, but this time it is a different error. The error message
that pops up is "Windows could not start the Routing and Remote Access on
Local Computer. For more information, review the System Event Log. If this
is a non-Microsoft service, contact vendor, and refer to service-specific
error code 127."

Hi ankit,

The error code 127 if for the error "The specified procedure could not be
found".
This error occurs if the system is trying to load a dll and and execute a
procedure which can not be found...
So there's some problem with u'r dlls.
check whether u have all the dlls.
run ->eventvwr to see whether all the services are started properly or
not.

Thanks ,
vamsi.

How do I check to see whether all my DLL files are there? Also how do I
check to see whether or not there are any of the DLL files are corrupted?

One thing to do is start, run, sfc /scannow <enter>
