We don't have enough information about your computer to answer that.
Here are some general suggestions:
1. Do you have antivirus programs like McAfee or Norton or other
third-party security software? These programs normally have a firewall
component which will turn off the Windows Firewall. This is A Good Thing
because you don't want two firewalls running.
2. The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time
things worked and the time they didn't?
3. The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the
malware/virus status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what
programs (and versions) did you use to determine this?
Be sure the computer is clean:
