    To resolve this problem, run Delprof.exe on the computer where you want to delete the inactive profiles, or disable the Internet Connection Firewall on the remote computer.

    To disable the Internet Connection Firewall on the remote computer, follow these steps:
    • Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
    • Double-click Network Connections.
    • Right-click the connection that you want to disable Internet Connection Firewall for, and then click Properties.
    • On the Advanced tab, click to clear the Protect my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box.
    • Click OK.

    Control Panel > Network Connections > (Right click on the active connection) > Properties Make sure “Client for Microsoft Networks” is checked.

    • Plug your computer directly into the cable modem.
    • Use "ipconfig /release" and "ipconfig /renew" from the windows command prompt to get a new IP address from the cable modem.
    • Unplug your computer from the cable modem.
    • Plug your computer into the router, leaving the router unplugged from the cable modem.
    • Use ipconfig /release and ipconfig /renew to get an IP address from the router.
    • Enter the router's configuration with your web browser.
    • Tell the router to Clone your Mac Address. wait a few seconds.
    • Plug the router into the cable modem.
    • In the web interface, tell the router to ask for a new IP address from the cable modem. (This is the "DHCP Renew" Button) The cable modem should think that you are the PC that just spoke with it and will let your router work again. You might have to ask it to renew a couple times.
