Hi there! Hope someone can help.....have just installed
wireless broadband, but now can't turn on the XP
firewall. It gives me a message about not being able to
do ICS at this time, which in turn wont let me turn on
the firewall! I am completely lost.......will this happen
with EVERY firewall I try to install with broadband?

XP, broadband and Firewall problem

when you say you installed wireless broadband, did u
actually have dsl or cable modem installed and then add a
wireless access point and or a router with a wireless
access point built in?

Hello,
You'll need 2 NICs to enable ICS. Also not having ICS enable should not
prevent you from enabling the firewall.
