Computer Browser Service shuts off after disabling Windows Firewall /ICSI disabled the Windows Firewall /Internet Connection Sharing service. I did so to try and help some connectivity problem I was having with my DSL LAN I use Zone Alarm firewall and the Router I use [Linksys BEFSR 41] has its own built in firewall, I'm told. I now find that I'm getting error messages via Event Viewer as to the following service shutting down. "Computer Browser Service" I have it's Startup Type set to: "Automatic" Its function is described as follows: "Maintains an updated list of computers on the network and supplies this list to computers designated as browsers. If this service is stopped, this list will not be updated or maintained. If this service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start." So far, I haven't noticed any problems with my PC or DSL connection when this service isn't runnning. 1) Can I leave this "Computer Broswer service" off? 2) If this serice is in fact a needed service, is there way I can set this service so that it doesn't shut down? Thanks in advance: -Eli. Windows XP Professional Edition SP2 Zone Alarm security suite 6.1.744.001

However, shutting down the WF / ICS service is NOT the normal way to do things. The service is intended to be running, at all times. If you have Zone Alarm, you can disable the Windows Firewall. But not the service. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/your-personal-firewall-can-either-help.html All things being equal, you don't have to run the browser on all computers. It's actually better for you, if you don't. If your LAN works OK as is, then leave it as is. Read about the browser. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/04/nt-browser-or-why-cant-i-always-see.html Now, a NAT router like the BEFSR41 provides perimeter protection, LIKE a firewall, but a NAT router is not a firewall. But it is a very useful component in a layered security strategy. <http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/please-protect-yourself-layer-your.html> http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/2005/05/please-protect-yourself-layer-your.html -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience. My email is AT DOT actual address pchuck mvps org. Thanks for your response, Chuck:
I reenabled the Windows Firewall/ ICS from the services and set it back to automatic startup. Here's my followup question: At the Control Panel--->Windows Firewall--->General Tab Firewall now is sset to OFF However at: Control Panel--->Windows Firewall-->Advanced ...At this tab I see a vertical row of Network Settings boxes all checked in .. These include: LAN LAN2 MSN MSN2 The statement on that Advanced Panel reads: "Windows Firewall is enabled for the connections selected below." Will unchecking those boxes be a better way to get the Windows Firewall to stop monitoring those connections, especially the top one, which is the one I now use to connect to the LAN for Verizon DSL. If I understand this correctly, it seems from this Advanced panel that the Windows Firewall is still monitoring those connections even though it is turned off. Is this a better way to diminsh interference from the Windows Firewall---which may or may not be the source of the connectivity problems I've been having lately? I had posted about those connectivity problems at this newsgroup on Sept.22 and was merely following the steps for troubleshooting given to me in response [ www.chicagotech.net/troubleshooting/noconnectivity.htm ]. Any further sugestions?

The Advanced tab is for more granular settings, when it is On. So what is the actual problem? Disabling the WF / ICS service isn't going to solve your problems, it's only going to cause more. Start with the service Started and Automatic. Enable / disable WF as needed.

My original post of Sept 22 on the connectivity problem can be found here: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web/browse_thread/thread/a1dbe596d13b216d/a3394a8176ac15ae?lnk=gst&q=eli&rnum=2#a3394a8176ac15ae I've run network diagnostics and Hardware/Software scan from the Help and Support Tools in Windows XP SP2. Was thereby told that my Network Adapter driver didn't need updating, and the Network Diagnostic scan didn't show any problems other than an occcasional timeout for one of the pings.... Might mkae sense to repost the issue since that thread is a few days old. But essentially what I wrote above is what i've done thus far.
