i have set up a test bed at home on a pIII with 256 ram, it's a partitioned 20gig to 10/10 and i have streaming content coming from the second partition threw WM server. everything was going fine, and all of a sudden the firewall service started failing after a shutdown. now i have re installed it and it runs, but if i shut down it fails again. any ideas? i formated and reinstalled, it's a full install, with ad schema. if anyone knows what's causing this please let me know. thanks.
