can not start Windows Firewall


Recommended Posts

Our server is running Windows 2003 Server R2 Enterprise x64 Edition.

 

Yesterday I happened to notice I can't open Windows Firewall anymore.

 

I tried to start Windows Firewall service, but got the following error:

 

Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing(ICS)

service on Local Computer

Error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it's disabled or

because it has no enabled devices associated with it

 

But I checked that service startup type is automatic and it has hardware

profile enabled.

 

The server is running Mcafee Antivirus. But I don't think that's the problem

because we have another server with exactly the same OS and antivirus

software where the Windows Firewall/ICS service is working fine.

 

I really really neeeeeeeeeeed help because I have to finish setting up the

server before the new semester starts

 

BTW, the server has two NICs

 

thanks

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

Hi Yifei Li,

 

You might want to check that your NIC (your main configured one) is bound to

TCPIP & client for MS Networks and that its set to the top of the

Connections list (Network Connections->Advanced->Advanced Settings). Also

if you are not using the other NIC at all make sure its disabled, and to go

a step further, unbind it from TCPIP etc.

 

Also within your Services ->DHCP Client check that it is started and that

under the Log On tab your hardware profile (prob Profile 1) is Enabled.

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

Thank you for the reply

 

I think you meanNetwork Connections -> [My network connection] -> Properties?

My connection is using Client for Microsoft Networks and Internet

Protocol(TCP/IP).

 

And I've already disabled the unused NIC. I checked that DHCP client is

running and hardware profile 1 is enabled.

 

Any ideas?

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

The location I meant was within your Network Connections window in the menu

at the top (File,Edit..etc) there is an Advanced, click on that and then

select Advanced Settings.

 

Im sorry, I have to run now, I will research this abit further as soon as I

can. In the meantime does anyone else here have a suggestion? :-)

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

I checked everything works exactly as you what you said: my active

connection is on top of the list and is bound to tcp/ip & clien for MS

networks.

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

Hi yifli,

 

Check that the dependant services listed in your Windows Firewall/Internet

Connection Sharing(ICS) service are started.

Also..this article may apply to you, give it a careful read.

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

Hi,

 

Unfortunately, DCOM Server Process Launcher service, Network Connections

service and COM+ Event Sytstem service are started. The startup type of DCOM

Server Process Launcher service and COM+ Event System service is automatic,

and the startup type of Network Connections is manual.

 

BTW, even if the Windows Firewall service is not running on the domain

controller, I can still remote desktop to it.

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

Hi again :-)

 

Another thing you can try is resetting your IP stack/Winsock LSP catalog.

In a command line type: Netsh WinSock Reset

This will reset your IP & Winsock back to its original state, so make sure

before you reboot to re-add the ip/gateway/subnet you may need. Also it may

screw up your McAfee but that can be reinstalled if necessary.

 

If that doesnt work you could try deleting your network card through device

manager and installing it fresh, possibly a new driver is available for it

as well.

 

Was there any software or drivers installed right before you noticed this

issue? You could try disabling your McAfee as well as any other 3rd party

apps from bootup to try and track down a possible culprit. If you noticed

this issue just after installing 2003 SP2, you could try reinstalling it.

 

You could try running a virus & spyware scan from an online source like

http://housecall.trendmicro.com .

 

....and if none of these work..i am out of ideas :-) Wipe it clean and

install new?

 

Let me know if anything worked.

Re: can not start Windows Firewall

 

I already tried Netsh Winsock Reset before, but it did not help

 

I also tried to uninstall Mcafee, no luck either

 

Right now I'm using Windows Repair to see if that works for me

 

Thank you for all your time though:)
