Windws XP Service Pack 2 Installation Problem

[jlcastillo78]

Hi, after I installed WinXP SP2 on several computers, one of those computer
has problems with the Windows Firewall / Internet Connection Sharing, the
message that appears tells that those services couldn't start.

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem?

Thanks
JL

Hi

See if registering the following DLLs helps:

From Start/Run, run the following commands:

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\atl.dll

then

regsvr32 %windir%\system32\hnetcfg.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netshell.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netcfgx.dll
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\netman.dll

Then do a reboot.


If that didn't work, please try this:

Start/Run --> cmd.exe

and then, in the command prompt that opened up, type:

netsh.exe winsock reset

and hit Enter. Follow prompts and reboot.


After resetting winsock you should re-install any applications which
are layered service providers (lsp). typical apps of this nature are
firewalls and anti-virus/anti-spyware.
