Hi experts. I just installed Win 7. when I try to enable sharing in local are network properties, I get this error message: "an error occurred while internet connection sharing was being enabled" " the dependency service or group failed to start" Im trying to share internet connection with another device through crossover cable... Pls Help.

Hi, Based on my research, I would like to suggest the following: 1. please check the related services referring to the following Knowledge Base: "Error 1068" Error Message When You Try to Turn On Internet Connection Sharing 2. Reinstall the driver of the network adapters; if there is a new driver, please also try it. 3. Please try to reconfigure ICS referring to the following documents: Using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) Set up a shared Internet connection using ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) Hope this helps. Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT

Thanks. Nicholas Li - MSFT I have the same problem on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. At the beginning the ICS service was missing from the services list. Now that I managed to bring it back using registry I can't turn it on. I get the following error: An error occured while internet connection sharing was being enabled. Error 1068 the dependency service or group failed to start. All (ICS) depended services are running fine. Is there anything else I can do? (please note I have enough experience with PCs and I have never encountered this kind of problem before. The windows came with SP1 installed.
