Cannot enable shared access errors

[Stuart]

I've had a small home network running successfully for
some months now.

However I've now got a problem with my 'host' machine.

It will not allow me to turn on either the firewall nor
ICF.

I've removed and reinstalled both my LAN connections and
those to my ISP with no luck.

My ISP connection (with the LAN connection removed) gives
the message:

"The creation of the firewall failed with the following
error.Cannot complete this function"

With the LAN connection in place I get

"Cannot enable shared access. Error 1003: Cannot complete
this function".

I've searched the KB and other places to no avail and
really don't want to re-build, so can anyone help ?

Thanks

Can you post the results of typing "sc queryex sharedaccess" at a command
line?

Did you get this after trying to enable the firewall and got the 1003 error?
Sorry I should have been clear to try to enable the firewall first..

Also check your WMI ("sc queryex winmgmt")

After trying to enable the firewall I get

SERVICE_NAME: sharedaccess
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE : 1 STOPPED

(NOT_STOPPABLE,NOT_PAUSABLE,IGNORES_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
WAIT_HINT : 0x0
PID : 0
FLAGS :

and the WMI query gives:

SERVICE_NAME: winmgmt
TYPE : 20 WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS
STATE : 4 RUNNING

(STOPPABLE,PAUSABLE,ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN)
WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0)
CHECKPOINT : 0x0
