Dont know whats happened here. I right click on my local area connection icon
and go to properties, advanced, to check my firewall settings and it says

"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?"

If I click yes, it says windows cannot start this service.

So, I went into computer management, services, and it shows the the windows
firewall/ICS service is set to automatic. But it shows its stopped. So I
click to start it and it says windows cannot start this service on Local
computer.

Error 10047: an address incompatible with the requested protocol was used.

I know I've been in here before many times and don't know what has happened.
Would like to get this fixed. Windows XP Pro, SP2
