    Hi, everyone,

    I see that there is some discussion about the SP2 Firewall, and although I've looked to see if my question is answered, it isn't. I've done some research on this and can't figure out what I need to know.

    What are the XP SP2 Firewall's dependencies? I cannot use some of my file sharing programs, etc., until I open their ports, but I cannot access the Firewall from the control or through the Microsoft Security Centre. But I go to the services In the control panel and tried to start the firewall service, although it is said to a manic, it will not start. Again they are saying that its dependencies cannot be found, which of course leads me to believe that there are some other services that the firewall depends on. What are those? Anyone know? I like to be able to turn them on selecting get into the firewall to open the ports I want.

    Any and all help is appreciated!!!

    Hi,

    Very cool. Thanks for looking that up. That does help. Still, it didn't solve my problem. I cannot start WMI or the Firewall service. RPC is running. Any clues? I want to get into this sucker and turn it off. What are WMI's dependencies? Maybe that would help me?

    You can go to services.msc

    Go to properties of said service, and go to dependencies tab.

    I can post screenies when I get home.
