Web Server: Not pulling on IP/local IP?

My web server isn't coming up on my IP or local IP (second computer). It's running on port 80 and I've allowed the port (and enabled it) on the router. I was thinking the windows HOST file but when I opened it up nothing in my head triggered. I can't remember if it's an Apache setting or whatnot. I'm drawing a blank, what might I be missing?

Are you talking about port forwarding?

I went to check the router's ports and they had not been reset. Since it's a fresh slipstream install I went and checked the Windows Firewall and the service wouldn't start. Went to the services app and I get an error 1075.

The Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions (I think this is after a reboot) which is a required dependency is running. I also manually started all the services one by one trying to enable the firewall service each time.

I suspect that I'll need to manually override the Windows Firewall. When I hit the home button in Firefox on the other system directly next to my main box XP shows that the system receives a packet but doesn't answer. So I'm pretty sure it's the Firewall though if I can't start it I don't know what else to do.

Since it's an XP slipstream install with SP3 there is no "restoration" point to restore to.

When I was pushing shiny buttons in nLite I went by this guide...
http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm

For things not listed I checked black viper's page.

I'm thinking I'm going to have to burn another slipstream CD with even more relaxed settings which sort of negates the whole point of spending all day getting everything setup the way I wanted. I'll try backing up the registry and doing a switch override (at worst I'd have to replace the user's profile any way).

Suggestions to salvage this install would be most welcome. :roll:

Windows Firewall comes to mind.

... Windows Firewall does not start is the problem!

I'll hold off on a new slipstream install of XP until this weekend since forums tend to die down considerably.

My question still remains: what services does the Windows Firewall depend on?

Is there a way to reinstall services once XP is install?

I need help!
