Qn abt Firewall/ICS

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Could someone give me some idea why this error comes up and why.

I try to start the Windows Firewall/ICS service but it refuses to, with the
error message
"Windows cannot start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service"

Corresponding to this, in Event Viewer, it says under the System tab:
Source: Service Control Manager
Event: 7023
"The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service terminated
with the following error:
An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used."

This is a problem, since I want to use net connection sharing.
