Hi all,

I was trying to set up a VPN last night. I used the "new
connection wizard" only to find that after choosing the
connect to my workplace radio button, the next dialogue
had the two options greyed out - effectively stopping me
from continuing. I dug around a bit - switched off the ICF
(firewall in XP) and tried again. Still no result. I then
gave up and re-neabled the firewall - but it wouldn't
start!! The message it gave was The ICF and ICS services
could not start becuase a group they depend on has not
started. I went to the service manager to look for these
services and their dependents and all of them had been
stopped. Ras man and some others. I can't start them and
my event viewer is full of error messages like - cant
start ras man - access denied. Is this affecting the VPN
too?

Apologies for the long exp. just needed to give all the
info. Got any ideas?

Thanks
D
