No internet sharing after XP SP2 upgrade

[Peter]

I have traced this problem to part 7 of the article below.

1. Log on to the host computer as Administrator or as Owner.
2. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
3. Click Network and Internet Connections.
4. Click Network Connections.
5. Right-click the connection that you use to connect to the Internet.
For example, if you connect to the Internet by using a modem, right-click
the connection that you want under Dial-up.
6. Click Properties.
7. Click the Advanced tab.
8. Under Internet Connection Sharing, select the Allow other network
users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box.


Under the advanced tab I get an "Windows cannot display the settings for
this
device, WMI may be corrupted" etc. message.

I have tried restarting the WFI to no avail.

Can anyone help?

I have XP SP2 installed and its working, make sure you are logged on as
Admin, and the computers are connected and you have run the Network Wizard
on both computers.

Host computer first then the others PC's that will be connecting through the
Host PC.

I have a totally different problem but this posting tells me that my problem
may have something to do with the 1394 connectivity. So I am posting this as
a comment and a question.

I have not been able to use the Dialup Connection icon for connecting to my
I S P. But if I open O. E. and ask it to connect, it can open the Dialup
Connection dialog and I get connected too my I S P alright. I have tried to
use the Network connection for setting up an Internet Account with my I S P
but Windows XP does not allow me to proceed with that approach.

However, in the Network Connections dialog, there are no Properties for the
I S P entry, even though it is there. But there are Properties for the 1394
connection. The device Manager shows a 1394 Network Adapter of Microsoft.
But there is no firewire card installed by me on my computer. Is this
Microsoft activated 1394 device not letting the Dialup Connection become
active?

I am wondering if I could remove the 1394 connection from the list of
Devices and whether by doing so, would Windows XP then automatically
recognize my Network Connection as a Dialup connection? Or would it permit
me to configure a new Dialup connection to my I S P?

Check in Control Panel - Admin tools - services that the following are
on Automatic, and Started:

Application Layer Gateway
SSDP Discovery
Universal Plug and Play.

Also, if you use Windows Firewall, that the Exceptions includes one to
enable UDP port 53 (needed for the DNS) and for UPnP Framework
