Windows machines for several weeks. Windows updates have been deadlocked since mid August. Some troubleshooting guide suggested disabling Windows Firewall temporarily until the updates could complete. Not only
Cannot Turn On Windows Firewall Error 1068
did disabling Windows Firewall not resolve the Windows Update issue, but Windows Firewall would

not restart! I mucked around with it for a bit, and then put the whole machine aside for a rainy the windows firewall service terminated with service-specific error 13 (0xd) day repaving. More recently, I decided to see what this Windows 7 Homegroup thing was about. Set it up on a few machines on the home network, and… nothing. Everybody's on the same http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_vista-security/windows-firewall-wont-start-error-code-6801-in/cf717fcb-2127-486a-b4c7-2af24a9cde96 homegroup password, and at least a few machines are sharing folders with the homegroup, but nothing shows up in the homegroup list. Digging around in one machine turned up an error starting the Homegroup Listener service. Probably important for listening to other homegroup members, eh? It turns out that the Homegroup Listener service requires the Windows Firewall service to be running. And wouldn't you know, this is the http://dannythorpe.com/2012/10/25/window-firewall-wont-start-error-6801/ machine that can't start Windows Firewall. A little more investigation led me to this thread about Windows Firewall system error 6801. In amongs several guesses was this note from "DPTower": FIXED IT! - For all having this specific problem, please follow these steps!! Open a "run as administrator" command prompt. Go to "c:\windows\system32\config\TxR" (or the equivalent location on your PC) - run "attrib –H –S *" to make all hidden files in the directory visible. - run "del *.blf" - run "del *.regtrans-ms" - reboot the machine This didn't sound like your usual pundit taking wild guesses, and the answer had been voted up many times by others. So I gave it a try. Deleted those files, rebooted the machine, went to enable Windows Firewall, and boom! It started! Hazaah! Up next: catching up on 2 months and 200MB of Windows Updates. And while that's cooking I'll poke at this Homegroup thing some more. (Is it true that Homegroup doesn't play well with IPv6? What genius dreamed up that limitation? My entire home network is IPv6!)

I'd open the port and it wouldn't allow me to host. My friend on the same router hosts fine. I figured it was software blocking it. I uninstalled with Revo Uninstaller and it still doesn't allow me to host, even with the port clearly open. If you guys think you might know the issue with that problem, let me know, because that's all I really
