I know exactly what this is.

Did at any time you secure your computer by shutting down
port 445? NetBT?

Take a look at this web page, it tells you how to close it
using regedit. Just change it to the open state, reboot
and you'll be good to go.

90% sure on this one, same thing happened to me last week.
