I keep getting the following error message everytime I
attempt to activate the microsoft windows firewall in
WinXP Pro..."an error occurred while internet connection
sharing was being enabled. The dependency group or
service failed to start".
How do I fix this?

Click to expand...

START|ALL|ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS|SERVICES

Right-click on the Internet Firewall item and click
PROPERTIES|DEPENDENCIES tab

Be sure that the Firewall item and every dependency listed is set to
AUTOMATIC. Right-click each of those services items|then PROPERTIES,
click the small black arrow to the right of the box, click AUTOMATIC.
Click on OK.
 
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.
