Is it turned on: Go to Start/Run: services.msc

Scroll down to Windows Firewall.....

 

Added info: See line 386 (right hand side):

Added note: This also happens with left over Norton or Mc. Use the Norton

uninstaller: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=norton+uninstaller

The "Application Layer Gateway" service must also be enabled and

configured for Manual or Automatic startup (if Manual, it will start

when an application wants to use it).
