Internet Connection Sharing Problem (Error Message)

[Jim]

Yes, all the machines are running through a hub.
The problem that I'm having is that I get an error message
when I try to initiate ICS on the main computer.

As for the computers being able to communicate with each
other, they do that ok.

I just can't figure out why I get the following error
message with ICS.

"An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was
being enabled. The Service cannot accept control messages
at this time".
