RAS Create New Inbound Connnection

I am trying to create a new inbound connection on a vista home premium and it
is failing. i go to services and try to start Routing and Remote Access
Service in the Services MMC. Routing and Remote Access fails to start. I
can configure just fine on a vista ultimate pc - it takes two seconds. Is
there some parameter that must be configured on the home premium edition? I
ran the command to reset the tcp/ip stack and still recieveing same error.
Any ideas? There is this application named avast which came preinstalled -
it is antivirus. I have not tried uninstalling that and that will be my next
step.

also the event id being recorded are 20103 source ras, and 7024 source
service control manager. there is article id 299013 and does not apply to
vista, only win2k.
