Prosafe Plus Configuration Utility - HTTP request error
I own two Netgear Smart swiches: Regards, Jan
- I Fixed it!!! :): The problem seemed to be caused by the 'Internet Connection Sharing Service (ICS)'.
Some how I have been configuring this service on my laptop. When I stop this service, the utility works again. Because I do not need this service most of the time I changed the startup mode of this service to manual.
Hello,
Thank very much for your help.
I had exactly the same problem (HTTP request error).
I disabled ICS, reboot and now it's working fine !
I have "virtual router manager" installed on my computer. Computer is physically linked to internet (ethernet) but I enable wifi to share internet connection with a smartphone. "virtual router manager" is the tool used to set up the connection between smartphone and PC. I assume this program was enabling ICS automatically.
Note also that I use win 7 in 64 bits.
Thanks again for the time saved !!
