Hi 2PiFL,
When i try to access "Network Setup Wizard". Its showing the following message:
"Your user account does not have adequate permissions to set up a home or small office network.
To set up a network,you must have permission to configured Interent Connection Sharing,Windows Firewall and network bridging".
ibu1:
Windows Firewall/Interent connection Sharing(ICS) service is enabled and shows the status as "started".
Windows Firewall is already disabled for network card.
I tried even group policy setting and set the "Prohibit use of Internet Connection Sharing on your DNS domain network" option to disabled. Even then its showing the same message that ICS has been disabled
