Thank you all for your replies. The issue has been resolved, it was
some misconfiguration on the DLINK router although I am not sure what
exactly. I have a static IP from my cable provider, and I had set the
router to use a static IP. My ISP suggested changing it to obtain IP
address via DHCP and that seemed to resolve the issue (even though my
static IP settings were identical to the DHCP settings).
The reason I had my windows firewall off on the machine is that my
router should act as a firewall so there's no reason to leave the
windows firewall running which in my opinion is more of a hindrance
than help, especially while troubleshooting issues like this.
Thanks again!
