Re: Trying to turn ON the windows Firewall

Hello, thank you for the reply, after clicking start Windows
Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), it says" Could not start the
Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS) service on Local Computer.
Error 10047: An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used."

This may be a problem with the layered service providers (LSPs). Try
resetting Winsock from the command line, logged on as Administrator.

C:\> netsh Winsock reset

After running this command, reboot.
