Hi,
Every time I start my Vista Home Premium, I get the message (with a lock as
icon) that "the computer failed to connect to a Windows remote service" and
that "This leads to unlimited users not being able to connect to this
computer." Then I get a suggestion to check the event log to read about
details. Moreover, when i try to check my firewall settings, there is no way
windows displayes them, but at the same time the firewall is running
according to the "check this computers security settings". I also fail on
changing the settings for my private home network to become visible. Please,
help me figure this out. I am concidering turning the windows firewall of and
get another firewall solution, although reluctantly.

Question #1 - did you check the event log, as recommended? What information
does the event log provide?

Not using the native Microsoft firewall, out of frustration, does not bode
well for your being able to install or properly configure a 3rd party
application either.

The 'lock' is an indication that a security event was triggered or reported.
You really need to check the log, fix the reported issue before just
restarting the firewall over and over, something is wrong, there is an issue
that needs to be addressed.

Note the Event ID and source. Then go to http:\\eventid.net and see if
there is any information on your error...
