SYMPTOMS
When a group policy prohibits the use of the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) or Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), these services cannot stay on.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows XP. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

322389 How to Obtain the Latest Windows XP Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

  Date       Time   Version      Size     File name 27-Feb-02 14:01  5.1.2600.31  656,896  Userenv.dll 27-Feb-02 14:08  5.1.2600.31  453,120  Ipnathlp.dll 27-Feb-02 14:03  5.1.2600.31  148,992  Netman.dll



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use a group policy that does not allow ICF or ICS.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Windows XP Service Pack 1.



MORE INFORMATION
The ICF or ICS services must continue to run despite the group policy so that if the policy changes or the computer moves to a different part of the domain that allows the use of ICF or ICS, the service can dynamically receive the policy change.
