I'm running Windows Server 2003. I've been using ICS (internet connection sharing) for my other computer to be able to access the internet. I have my dsl modem connected to my 2003 server with two NICS. My spare NIC connects directly into my XP Home computer. I have ICS+ICF(internet connection firewall) on the NIC connected to the dsl modem. Well I have unchecked the ICS+ICF boxes which I thought would turn off those services. Well when I goto the RRAS snap-in and attempt to configure it, I get the error message, "ICF is currently enabled on SERVER. To configure RRAS, please disable ICF and try again." I'm at a loss of what is wrong. I've even uninstalled the NIC ICS was setup on, disabled the ICF+ICS service, and I still get the same error message. I've checked the other NIC, but ICF is not enabled. Is there another place I need to check? -Other things I have done: Well I disabled both NICS, unchecked the ICF and ICS boxes. Stopped and disabled the ICF+ICS service. Rebooted. Made sure RRAS service was running and ICS+ICF service was stopped and disabled. Tried configuring it, and I still get the same error that the ICF service is running, and I need to disable it. I enabled both NICS and tried configuring. I reenabled ICS and ICF. That is what I've been using. It is working fine. I cleared ICF and rebooted. Then I cleared ICS and rebooted. Then I configured a static IP for the second NIC(internet NIC already has static IP) and other workstation. I successfully pinged other workstation. Tried to configure RRAS with same error message. One thing I have noticed though. If I enable ICS or ICF, the setting button is clickable. I have configured a whole bunch of settings there in regards to port forwarding to my other workstation and this server. These settings are still there after I have disabled and reenable ICF and ICS. Could the existance of those settings make Windows to "think" ICF is running? I could try deleting all of them, but if it didn't work, it would be time consuming to set them all up again. If there was a way to back those settings up from a certain file just in case... I had recently switched the NIC that was using ICS/ICF to the other one. One NIC is 10mbps and the other 100mbps. I had the 10 on the internal and the 100 to the dsl. Of course this doesn't make sense, so I swapped the cables and the ICS settings on the NICS. This sounds kinda similar to what your issue was. The problem is, I don't know how to fix this. I've renabled/disabled ICF/ICS on both NICS and no results. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance!
