I can't get the XP firewall turned on.
I tried this:
>
> Start/Run --> cmd.exe
> and then, in the command prompt that opened up, type:
> netsh.exe winsock reset
> and hit Enter. Follow prompts and reboot.
I have the same problem and just tried the fix and it didn't work for me.
I did the fix twice and after each time I go to turn on the firewall and I
get "Windows firewall settings cannot be displayed because the associated
service is not running. Do you want to start the Windows Firewall/Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS) Service?" I click Yes, Then it goes through a
Starting ICS thing then opens the windows firewall settings form. Off is
checked and I am unable to check on. It is greyed out. Can you suggest
anything else??
Thanks
Mike
