I tried enabling Internet Connection Firewall by checking
its box on the Advanced
tab under "Local Area Connection Properties" but getting
error message, "Network Connections
An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was
being enabled.
The dependency service or group failed to start.
Can anyone help?
 
Your firewall has blocked, as it should, Internet Connection
Sharing because that does try to penetrate the firewall.
You can set a firewall to allow this, click the advanced tab
on the advanced page and you'll find settings to allow
services through the firewall.

I would suggest that you get the free version of Zone Alarm
(or buy the retail pro version, download trial available)
because you can set limits on which computer services have
permissions and it reports both in and outbound traffic.

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.
