Error 1003: Cannot complete the function

Symptom: When attempting to enable ICS on a XP computer, you may receive this message: “Cannot enable shared access. Error 1003: Cannot complete the function”.

Resolutions:

1. Make sure you have correct TCP/IP by using ipconfig /all.
2. Make sure that your have selected the correct interface as the shared connection.
3. If you are trying to configure Connection Sharing manually for a connection, make sure that the home network adapter does not have ICF enabled. If ICF is enabled, you must either disable it before you can configure Connection Sharing on the external connection or use the Network Setup Wizard to enable ICS.
4. Check the system log and the Nsw.log file for errors that are related to ICS configuration. To view the contents of Nsw.log, click Start, click Run, type nsw.log, and then click OK.
