Try this:
To enable or disable Internet Connection Firewall

1.. Open Network Connections
2.. Click the Dial-up, LAN or High-Speed Internet connection that you want
to protect, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings of this
connection.
3.. On the Advanced tab, under Internet Connection Firewall, select one of
the following:
To enable Internet Connection Firewall (ICF), select the Protect
my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this
computer from the Internet check box.
To disable Internet Connection Firewall, clear the Protect
my computer and network by limiting or preventing access to this
computer from the Internet check box.
Notes

To open Network Connections, click Start, point to Settings,
click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections.
You must be logged on as a computer administrator to complete this
procedure.
If you clear the Protect my computer and network by limiting or
preventing access to this computer from the Internet check box, the
firewall on your computer is disabled, and your network is
vulnerable to intrusions.
You should not enable Internet Connection Firewall on virtual private
networking (VPN) connections or on client computers because ICF will
interfere with file and printer sharing.
ICF cannot be enabled on the private connections of the Internet Connection
Sharing host computer.
Internet Connection Sharing, Internet Connection Firewall, Discovery and
Control, and Network Bridge are not available on Windows XP 64-Bit Edition.
