a long time ago I created some security settings using MMC and the IP Security Policies snap-in to block google, microsoft, twitter and facebook from any connections to or from the computer.
now I want to remove those security policies.
I had saved the console as ipsec.msc, and the obvious solution is to go back to that and delete the entries.
I still have it. when I open the console, in the left pane it shows:
"IP Security Policies on local computer", which is blank;
"IP Security Monitor", which has listed the local computer.
when I click on the local computer, I get an error message.
"The following error occurred while contacting the server [LocalComputer]:
The IPsec service is not running."
okay, now when I go to Services to turn on the IPsec service, it's not there. instead it has IPsec Policy Agent which is already running and set to automatic.
what do I do? how can I start the IPsec service? does Win7 use something different now? how can I access security policies set by a MMC console that doesn't function because it needs the IPsec service to run?
