XP firewall

Cannot enable XP firewall. Error: "An error occured while
Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled. The
dependency service group failed to start." I'm using Cox
High speed LAN network.

You might want to try this question on the windowsxp.network_web board.
That said, this is a very common problem and it usually requires jumping
through a lot of hoops to resolve, assuming it is resolved.

It would be simpler to connect your systems to a router and forget ICS. I'm
not saying it can't be done, I am saying you might save yourself a lot of
trouble and work by just making the investment in a router.

check to see if any of it dependencies services failed to start. also, if
you have a router, make sure your router's ip is not 192.168.0.1 (gateway)
because ics has this ip hard-coded as gw.
let me know

Greetings --

Right-click My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications >
Services. In the right-hand pane, scroll down to right-click on the
Internet Connection Firewall and select Properties. Click the
Dependencies Tab. Make sure that all of the listed system
components/services are shown as started in the Services list.

Normally, you will need to have the Application Layer Gateway
Service, the Network Connections, the Network Location Awareness, and
the Remote Access Connection Manager started. If one or more of these
isn't already started, start it and set it to start automatically.
