Firewall Problem

[Shorty]

I just upgraded from XP Home to XP Pro and my Netgear Wireless Music
center died. After spending hours on the phone to India with both MS
and Netgear I switched to a Ethernet connection. Still did not work.

Problem seems to be the firewall. In trying the turn the firewall off I
get a message "Cannot start ICS service.". In checking the knowledge
base this problem is reported with a fix that looks complicated to a
non-tech guy like me.. I'll call MS support tommorow to try to get this
resolved.

MS support walked me through changing the registry which fixed the
problem so my networks runs again. The tech told me that there are
problems when upgrading a vendor installed windows xp home to a retail
upgrade to windows xp pro.
