Internet sharing won't work

[Ian]

I am running a home network, 2 XP Home connected via
ethernet hub, trying to run the Network setup wizard
results in failure as "Spooler SubSystem App encountered a
problem". If I configure the LAN manually file sharing and
printer sharing works fine. Then if I try and enable ICS
on the modem dialup connection on the x.x.0.1 computer, i
get the error message "cannot enable shared access, Error
1061 the service cannot accept control messages at this
time", after warning me that it will reconfigure the host
LAN connection as x.x.0.1 (which it already is!)
Doesn't matter if the x.x.0.2 computer is switched off,
same response. Modem works fine, host computer will
connect and surf without a problem, just refuses to share
the connection.
Anybody got any ideas what else to do?? Thanks.

When you get that error 1061, type the following command at a command prompt
and post the results

sc queryex sharedaccess

Ken, thanks for your help, after struggling all weekend
and getting that message on EVERY occasion, when I went
home to get the answer for your post, inevitably it worked
and managed to share the connection! I guess whatever was
blocking it finally went away, thanks for your time and
effort,
Ian

Is your computer set up to automatically log in?

I'm not sure what you mean Ken, sorry, but XP starts up
without a need for password, configured for only one user,
and the ISP connection is via a dial-up modem connection
with login/password saved in XP.

I'm just saying that I have seen a problem where if the machine is set to
skip the login screen and Messenger is in the startup group then
occasionally the ICF/ICS will not start properly.

Oh thanks, I'd removed Messenger from startup a long time
ago after other problems!
