Windows firewall and vnc will not start
Cannot start the windows firewall on a windows 2003 Enterprise sp2 VM server which is running on a Hyper V Windows 2008 R2 Std. server.
The message I get is as follows;
Windows Firewall cannot run because another program or service is running that might use the network address translation component (ipnat.sys).
Have disabled the RRAS service and tried the command, "sc config ipnat start = disabled".
The host server is using a 172.20.0.6 address.
The 2003 server is on the domain and using a public ipaddress.
Any help with this would be appreciated.

Try a somewhat different way of stopping RRAS and starting it.

Net Start comes back with access denied even though I started the command link with local Administrative privileges.
Also tried: My Computer -> Manage -> Services and Applications -> RRAS! you'll find it with a red box next to it, right click and click on DISABLE. Did not work either. Window Firewall still comes up with the same message.

Try running System File Checker on the server. Open an admin command prompt, run SFC /SCANNOW and allow to complete. It will be preferable to restart the server.

Cannot access the 2003 server with VNC because the Windows Firewall setting do not allow the VNC server to be accessed.
Without getting into the Windows Firewall, I do not know how to change this.

SFC does not require VNC. How did you get into the server in the above posts?

Have run SFC /scannow and it complete successfully.
I can access the 2003 server only through the Hyper V consul.

It worked!
run NET START to list all running services and check if Windows Firewall is in the list.
