Cannt start Windows Firewall, service won't start

I treid to enable the Windows Firewall from winthin Control panel and it says
it couldn't start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)
service.

So I went into admin tool, services and tried to start it from there and got:

Could not start the Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) service
Error 10047: An address incompatable with the requested protocol was used.

I use TCP/IP protocol on my internet conection and that is all working fine
as far as I know.

I also noticed I can't get to shared folders on this PC within my home
network , but this PC can get to shared folders on other PCs in the netowrk.
Not sure if related to the above. Any ideas ?

I followed the directions listed and all the services listed were already
checked:

Make sure all the following services are turned on. To turn on a service,
click to select the check box.
• Application Layer Gateway Service

I found this info in the Knowledge base, but it doesn't help me fix the
problem. It *sounds* like something with my TCP/IP as thats the only protocol
I "have".

WSAEAFNOSUPPORT (10047)
• Translation: Address family not supported by protocol family.
• Description: An address that is incompatible with the requested protocol
was used. All sockets are created with an associated address family (that is,
AF_INET for Internet protocols) and a generic protocol type (that is,
SOCK_STREAM). This error is returned if an incorrect protocol is explicitly
requested in the socket (Wsapiref_2qr6.asp) call or if an address of the
wrong family is used for a socket, for example, in sendto
(Wsapiref_4sqa.asp).

Maybe spyware or some other crapware has corrupted your network settings in
the registry.

You can try " netsh winsock reset " from the cmd prompt to set them back to
default.

For the other problem with shared folders, check that File and Printer
Sharing is checked in the Connection properties of your network adapter.

I tried to do what was posted to try and solve this problem but unfortunately
I'm not a very computer literate person so I'm not sure what was ment. This
problem only started after I loaded and scan with the new anti-spyware beta
1. After I rebooted that is when the trouble started. Can anyone help
please, Microsoft support couldn't help and sent me here.

Hi

If you have Service Pack 2 for WinXP installed, please try this:

Start/Run --> cmd.exe

and then, in the command prompt that opened up, type:

netsh.exe winsock reset

and hit Enter. Follow prompts and reboot.


If that doesn't cut it, or you don't have WinXP SP2, try this one:

Hi
I did the same - I stareted the Microsoft AntySpyweare, and after scan, remove and reboot received the same - the "newdotnet..._.dll" dose not started. I tried to start WFirewall manualy, and received Error message. Into Servicies menu - received the error number 10047.
Then I tried the netsh command (thanks for previous idies!).
But if you are running this command from Start->Run window, you don't see the Output of the command (I did not).
So I tried to do this from cmd (Start->Run->cmd, push Enter). there I typed 2 next commands:
netsh firewall reset (output = "Ok")
and
netsh winsock reset (output = "...You must restart you computer...")
After running the last command, I tried to restart the Firewall, but it does not started up, so I restarted computer, and its started up with WFirewall started, too!!!
So ... :)

Hi, delli!
Try to run this command from cmd:

netsh winsock reset

and restart your computer. It seems that you have a problem with your Winsock keys.
