Guest RandySh. Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Hi, Every time I start my Vista Home Premium, I get the message (with a lock as icon) that "the computer failed to connect to a Windows remote service" and that "This leads to unlimited users not being able to connect to this computer." Then I get a suggestion to check the event log to read about details. Moreover, when i try to check my firewall settings, there is no way windows displayes them, but at the same time the firewall is running according to the "check this computers security settings". I also fail on changing the settings for my private home network to become visible. Please, help me figure this out. I am concidering turning the windows firewall of and get another firewall solution, although reluctantly. Quote
Guest Beoweolf Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Question #1 - did you check the event log, as recommended? What information does the event log provide? Not using the native Microsoft firewall, out of frustration, does not bode well for your being able to install or properly configure a 3rd party application either. The 'lock' is an indication that a security event was triggered or reported. You really need to check the log, fix the reported issue before just restarting the firewall over and over, something is wrong, there is an issue that needs to be addressed.

Guest RandySh. Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on Thanks for your answer. Yes, I have checked the event log with little success, since there is so much information of little help to me, as I do not understand the meaning of the information. One would hope that the information was written/conveyed in a simpler language with practical guidlines.

Guest RandySh. Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on I have now succeeded in finding the event log information related to my problem: "Certificate Services Client failed to register Group Policy Notifications". Error code 2147944153. I will attempt to find an answer online on technet for instance. Wish me luck! In the meantime, any suggestion is welcome.

Guest Beoweolf Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 Re: Failure to automatically connect to "some Windows services" on here's a hint... note the time, run the FW, then open the event log and search for the time you started the firewall. some of the things forward of the the time you listed, should be related to the FW failure. Once you have an idea of the failure codes you can use filtering to high light just what you are interested in. If you double click on the event error, you will be able to see a link in the error listing, it will take you to possible online solutions and/or articles which may address the issue or point to TechNet articles, fixes.

Perhaps by searching on EPT_S_NOT_REGISTERED you will find more useful information. -- Larry Futrell Quote
