Wndows Firewall/ICS Service

[Guest]

I am running XP Pro service pack 2. When I try to start the firewall in the
control panel it will not start. When I try to start the service manually i
get the following error:

Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service on local computer.

Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

I cannot tell what file it can't find or how to replace it. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.

Hi Valcin,

See if the file ipnathlp.dll is present in the following folder:

%SystemRoot%\System32\

If missing, extract a new copy from source.
