XP SP2 Firewall disabled

[Tim]

I installed the new MS Antispyware program today and after running it my
firewall is disabled. When I try to start it I get a message that the
Firewall/internet connection sharing service will not start, when I try to
start the servie I get an error: "Error 10047: An address incompatable with
the requested protocol was used" Has anyone seen this?

Thanks.

Hi

Please try this:

Start/Run --> cmd.exe

and then, in the command prompt, type:

netsh.exe winsock reset

and hit Enter

If that doesn't cut it, try this one
