    Hi paolo_italy :)

    Check this article on the Official LnS FAQ:

    problems with driver remove

    Follow exactly the procedure.

    I suggest you to used this tools for Registry searching:
    RegSeeker

    - Check the backup option before
    - don't "clean" the registry but search with specific words
    such as LnS, lnsfw, S4E_LNS...

    I guess the best and easier solution for you is to make a clean install.

    Hope this help: let us know.

    :)

    Hi paolo_italy

    This error indicates a problem in the registry which prevents the driver to run (and to be installed) properly.

    Actually it is the lnsfw1 driver, so what suggested Climenole will not help (because the mentioned procedure is for lnsfw driver).

    To identify the issue with the registry you should run the LoadOrder utility from Microsoft:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897416.aspx

    Then highlight the PNP_TDI drivers like this:

    Thanks,

    Frederic

    The order must be:
    TcpIp
    Lnsfw1
    Netbt

    So probably the problem is coming from the bad order you have.

    This is configured through the registry with [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GroupOrderList] key and the PNP_TDI value.
    Could you export this key to a file, open it as a text file, and copy paste here, just the PNP_TDI value ?

    Did you install/remove another application related to the network ? It seems someone has broken this key.

    Regards,

    Frederic

    The problem is the tags for TcpIp (26/1A) and NetBt (27/1B) are not in that list.
    This is also why there is a * in LoadOrder for these drivers (and it is not normal).

    You can try to fix that with the following entry (3 modifications in bold):
    "PNP_TDI"=hex:20,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,1c,00,00,00,04,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,06,\
    00,00,00,07,00,00,00,08,00,00,00,09,00,00,00,0a,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,0b,00,\
    00,00,0c,00,00,00,0d,00,00,00,0e,00,00,00,0f,00,00,00,10,00,00,00,11,00,00,\
    00,12,00,00,00,13,00,00,00,14,00,00,00,15,00,00,00,16,00,00,00,17,00,00,00,\
    18,00,00,00,19,00,00,00,1d,00,00,00,1e,00,00,00,1a,00,00,00,1f,00,00,00,1b,00,00,00,20,00,00,00,21,\
    00,00,00

    Modify the .reg file, and execute it, to have it written to the registry.

    Run again LoadOrder and you should get:

    System PNP_TDI 26 Tcpip Driver protocollo TCP/IP
    System PNP_TDI 31 lnsfw1
    System PNP_TDI 27 NetBT NetBios su Tcpip

    Then reboot, and normally the application filtering should be working again.

    Regards,

    Frederic

    Thanks Paolo and Climenole :)

    What I would like to know is how the registry could be corrupted that way o_O
    I don't think it is caused by Look 'n' Stop.

    Paolo, how the problem appeared exactly:
    1- just after the very first installation of Look 'n' Stop
    2- Look 'n' Stop was working properly for a while, and you installed/uninstalled some other application (or you used an uninstall tool, or you did a restoration) and then the Application Filtering stopped to work
    3- Look 'n' Stop was working properly for a while, and the problem appeared suddenly, with no special event that could be the cause of the issue

    Thanks,

    Frederic

    Hi, Frederic,
    1, what's the difference between lnsfw1 and lnsfw? (lnsfw1=TDI filter, lnsfw=NDIS filter?)
    2, in your snapshot, tcpip6 is loaded after lnsfw1. Does it mean that lns can't filter ipv6?

    Hi nuser,
    Lnsfw1 is for the Application filtering.
    Lnsfw is for the Internet Filtering.
    This screenshot comes from an XP machine, and it is true the application filtering doesn't support IPV6 for XP but only for Vista (this is in the 2.06 changelog).
    Now, I'm not sure the reason it doesn't work for XP is simply the load order.

    I've just checked that and it seems modifying the load order to have Tcpip6 driver loaded before lnsfw1 is finally sufficient to have an IPV6 connection detected by the application filtering (at least a "telnet IPV6@" was detected).

    Hi, Frederic,
    To rearrange the load order of drivers, is the only way to manually reset the registry entries? Seems Loadorder can only display the loading order, not resetting.

    In Loadorder, I don't find lnsfw.sys, only lnssvc.exe. Is this normal?

    thanks:)

    Yes, this is the only way I know. Maybe some applications are doing that, but I don't know them.
    Yes, LoadOrder just reads the registry and shows the driver order in a friendly way.
    I don't know why the other driver (note that the registry key is "SFilter" instead of lnsfw) is not in that list.
    Since all entries from [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services] are not there, probably LoadOrder is using another information.
