I'm trying to run FirstSpot on Windows 7.
I set Microsoft Loopback for Internet Connection, and Local Area Connection for Visitors Connection.

When i'm trying to run Dispatcher, I get following error:

"Fail to start ICS, rc[80004005]".

I'm configured everything step by step with readme file.

Do you get the same error if you use a real physical network card as the "Internet Network Interace"?

P.S. There is an issue in our forum. We are working on a fix with the hosting provider.

Just one quick question : can you start Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) manually through the Windows Services console?

Please make sure

1) You didn't turn on UAC again after installation

2) The startup type and status of the ICS service are "Manual" and "Stopped" respectively before starting FirstSpot

3) Under Sharing tab of the Network Properties of both NICs, the checkbox "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection" is unchecked

After confirming the above settings, restart the machine once and start FirstSpot. If you still see the same error code, please post the file FirstSpot\log\firstspot_gw_srv_<timestamp>.log here.
