WXP SP2 Firewall not started
I think I have found the resolution to the problem. It would appear that I
have installed more than I need to into the registry instead of just the AssumeUDP value which allows a VPN connection in WXP SP2. Whoops! You can now close this call. "Amanda Wang [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Hello, Thanks for your update. First, I agree with you that the issue maybe caused by the Toshiba's drivers. Therefore, you can uninstall the drives and reinstall them to check the issue again. Second, I want to know if you have tried my previous suggestions. Especially resetting the winsock steps. Third, you also can try to use clean boot to check if the issue is caused by some other third party applications or services as following: Please follow this suggestion to narrow down this problem: 1. Click Start, click Run, and then in the Open box, type "MSCONFIG" (without the quotation marks). Click OK. 2. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click to select the Selective Startup button. 3. Click to clear the check mark from the "Load startup items" below Selective Startup. 4. Click the Services tab, click to check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box, and remove all the check marks from the remained Non-Microsoft Services. *note that please make sure that you do not uncheck the Microsoft services. 5. Click OK to close the MSConfig window. Click Yes when you are asked to restart your computer in order to enable the changes. 6. After restarting, please check whether this issue will reoccur. If this issue does NOT reoccur following the Selective Startup, please continue these steps to find the exact cause: 1. Click Start, click Run, in the Open box type "MSCONFIG" (without the quotation marks), and click OK. 2. In the System Configuration Utility (MSConfig) window, click the Startup tab or the Services tab. 3. Add one check mark at a time to the entries under the Startup tab or the Services tab, and then restart each time to see if the additional entry reproduces the original problem. At last, if the issue only occurs on the OEM Windows XP installation version, you can also consult the issue with Toshiba to see if they have encountered the similar issue before. HTH! If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.

As soon as this registry key is installed and the laptop restarted the network connection is lost and the firewall will not start. The firewall cannot be started manually, ipconfig is not recognized and it is not possible to ping the network. The only way to recover from this is to run a WXP SP2 repair. However, we have had one machine that appeared to be working (firewall, network, ipconfig and VPN) after the repair but then it suddenly lost the network connection again. I then deleted the registry key for VPN connections and repaired the OS which then allowed the firewall to start and network connectivity but this means that connectivity on our VPN will not work. We have installed SP2 to all our desktop PC's with the same VPN registry key without experiencing this problem so I am beginning to think there might be some kind of conflict with Toshiba's drivers. What do you think? "Amanda Wang [MSFT]" wrote in message ... Hi Tim, Thanks for your post. I understand that you have Windows XP operation system which is from the original manufacturers on Toshiba laptops and installed the SP2 from an official MS CD. Now the issue is that the firewall service cannot start automatically on startup. First, please help me confirm the following questions so that I can isolate the issue and perform further research on it: 1. You mentioned that the reason is that IP stack does not load so the OS cannot brose the network. Is this error information? If so, please help me collect the screen shot of the error information and send to me at . To take a screen shot --------------------- a. Press the Pr Scrn key once on the keyboard when the error message appears. b. Click Start, go to Run, enter MSPAINT in the open dialog box, and then Click OK. c. Use Ctrl + V to paste the screenshot to the canvas. d. From the File menu, go to Save and save it as a JPG file. e. Send the JPG file to me as an attachment. 2. Do all Toshiba laptops with SP2 have the same issue? 3. After starting the operation system and go to Start- Run- enter "services.msc", can you start Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service manually? If not, is there any error information? If so, same to catch a screen shot and send to me. 4. Go to Start- Run- enter "eventvwr" and check if there are some event logs related this and post here. Second, you have tried the KB892199 but no success. I would give my suggestions on this issue: 1. I found another related KB as following and you can refer to it: 892504 The Windows Firewall service in Windows XP Service Pack 2, in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?id=892504 2. Based on my experience, the issue also can be caused by a winsock corruption. Therefore, I suggest perform a winsock reset. a. Go to the command prompt and then type the command "Netsh winsock reset"\ Got a message saying that to complete the reset Restart your computer restart the computer and then reinstall tcpip b. Go to Folder options and to tab named view c. Choose the options to show hidden files and folders d. Apply the settings and the open the network connection window e. And right click on the network connection and then try to install Tcp/ip from there f. Restarted the computer and check the issue. HTH!
