Try this.

Start>run>"services.msc" (without quotes).
Scroll down to Windows Firewall/Internet connection sharing.
Right click and make sure it has started.
Also right click and go properties and under start up type make sure its on auto.

Thanks
Fury

EDIT: Then reboot.
Make sure that its startup is also set to ''AUTOMATIC''

Go into the Service's again and go to the Firewall Internet Connection sharing and turn it onw using the steps above.
"Windows Management Instrumentation" needs to be turned on.
what is that.. how to run that
it is turned on
ok
The windows firewall isn't actually all that bad...but all it takes is a few disabled services and some dependancies being turned off that is causing your problem.
Can you post a screenshot of your services?
is that antivirus or firewall???
how to take screen shot... T_T sry i sux
just hit the printscreen key then open Paint...
once the screen comes up press ctrl+v
where the ss will come out
