When I try to enable xp's firewall, I get this error message:

"An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled.
The dependency service group failed to start."

I have 2 xp computers and cable modem connected through a hub. I don't get
the error with the other computer.

Any ideas??

It didn't help, but thanks for the try. I did everything on the page
(actually, it was all turned on anyway).
I can share files with both computers. I'm running Zone Alarm, so I can
share files and stay protected from the outside world.
I just wanted to get the built-in XP firewall working because it bugs me
that it won't work on one of the computers and will work on the other. I
don't actually plan on using it.

I presume you are disabling Zone Alarm when trying the XP

Yes. The problem existed a long time before I installed Zone Alarm.
