The problem might be that you have a third party firewall that is not
recognized by the Security Center, disabled the windows firewall, but
the OS has locked down security in TCP/IP filtering, preventing any
network activity. Open the connection, TCP/IP properties, General tab,
Advanced properties, Options tab, TCP/IP filtering properties. Check
Enable TCP/IP filtering, and change Permit Only to Permit All in all
three ports/protocols.
