Re: can not start Windows Firewall

Hi again :-)

Another thing you can try is resetting your IP stack/Winsock LSP catalog.
In a command line type: Netsh WinSock Reset
This will reset your IP & Winsock back to its original state, so make sure
before you reboot to re-add the ip/gateway/subnet you may need. Also it may
screw up your McAfee but that can be reinstalled if necessary.

If that doesnt work you could try deleting your network card through device
manager and installing it fresh, possibly a new driver is available for it
as well.

Was there any software or drivers installed right before you noticed this
issue? You could try disabling your McAfee as well as any other 3rd party
apps from bootup to try and track down a possible culprit. If you noticed
this issue just after installing 2003 SP2, you could try reinstalling it.

You could try running a virus & spyware scan from an online source like
http://housecall.trendmicro.com .

....and if none of these work..i am out of ideas :-) Wipe it clean and
install new?

Let me know if anything worked.

Hi,

Unfortunately, DCOM Server Process Launcher service, Network Connections
service and COM+ Event Sytstem service are started. The startup type of
DCOM
Server Process Launcher service and COM+ Event System service is
automatic,
and the startup type of Network Connections is manual.

BTW, even if the Windows Firewall service is not running on the domain
controller, I can still remote desktop to it.

Hi yifli,

Check that the dependant services listed in your Windows
Firewall/Internet
Connection Sharing(ICS) service are started.
Also..this article may apply to you, give it a careful read.

I checked everything works exactly as you what you said: my active
connection is on top of the list and is bound to tcp/ip & clien for MS
networks.

The location I meant was within your Network Connections window in the
menu
at the top (File,Edit..etc) there is an Advanced, click on that and
then
select Advanced Settings.

Im sorry, I have to run now, I will research this abit further as soon
as
I
can. In the meantime does anyone else here have a suggestion? :-)

Thank you for the reply

I think you meanNetwork Connections -> [My network connection] ->
Properties?
My connection is using Client for Microsoft Networks and Internet
Protocol(TCP/IP).

And I've already disabled the unused NIC. I checked that DHCP
client
is
running and hardware profile 1 is enabled.

Any ideas?

Hi Yifei Li,

You might want to check that your NIC (your main configured one) is
bound
to
TCPIP & client for MS Networks and that its set to the top of the
Connections list (Network Connections->Advanced->Advanced
Settings).
Also
if you are not using the other NIC at all make sure its disabled,
and
to
go
a step further, unbind it from TCPIP etc.

Also within your Services ->DHCP Client check that it is started
and
that
under the Log On tab your hardware profile (prob Profile 1) is
Enabled.

Our server is running Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise x64
Edition.

Yesterday I happened to notice I can't open Windows Firewall
anymore.

I tried to start Windows Firewall service, but got the following
error:

Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection
Sharing(ICS)
service on Local Computer
Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it's
disabled
or
because it has no enabled devices associated with it

But I checked that service startup type is automatic and it has
hardware
profile enabled.

The server is running Mcafee Antivirus. But I don't think that's
the
problem because we have another server with exactly the same OS
and
antivirus software where the Windows Firewall/ICS service is
working
fine.

I really really neeeeeeeeeeed help because I have to finish
setting
up
the
server before the new semester starts

BTW, the server has two NICs

thanks

yifli
