repost: I need some help......

I have a 10 user sbs premium network. A few months ago after a upgrade some
settings got messed up so I called Dell premium support who walked me
through some gpo edits.

The network works fine although my event viewer has the following errors:

service control manager
event id 7023
The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service terminated
with the following error:
The requested resource is in use.
For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

and

ipnathlp
event id 32009
The Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service could not
start because another program or service is running that might use the
network address translation component (Ipnat.sys). This can occur when
Routing and Remote Access is enabled. If this is the case, you must disable
Routing and Remote Access before the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS) service can start.

NOW FOR MY MAIN PROBLEM AND SYMPTOMS:

My old PC's work fine. Users can Remote in without an issue. I just added
2 new PC's and I cant get remote to work on them. I was able to
http://server/connectcomputer each box without a problem. Printers, network
shares, exchange, internet access and business applications work without a
issue. I enabled Remote on the server and in the computer properties. DHCP
is leasing ip addresses to the boxes. I can PING my server. BUT... AND THIS
IS WHERE I THINK MY PROBLEM IS... I cant ping the PC from my server. I can
remote to the server.

Another interesting symptom is windows firewall is not on any workstation
AND the windows firewall icon is in my server.

I have tried using VPN to connect to the troubled pc's from the server it
work either.

ANY CLUES?

Thanks in advance

Kevin
