    "HomeGroup Listener" service can't start


    Greetings.
    trying to get a homegroup working with your guide, , but after testing the services you write are nessecary I found one service that can't start - "HomeGroup Listener". When I try, I just get an error, and that I can see more in the event viewer. The eventviewer gives this description:

    - <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event">
    - <System>
    <Provider Name="Service Control Manager" Guid="{555908d1-a6d7-4695-8e1e-26931d2012f4}" EventSourceName="Service Control Manager" />

    <Data Name="param1">HomeGroup Listener</Data>
    <Data Name="param2">%%-2147023143</Data>
    </EventData>
    </Event>


    What to do about this?

    Found the solution.
    Allthough I have BitDefender Total Security installed, Windows Firewall service must be running, then homegroup works just fine :)
