What antivirus/security software do you have installed? Many of these programs have their own firewall component which disables the Windows Firewall.

Look at the NT services. Run the services applet (services.msc). Check if the Application Layer Gateway (ALG) service is both enabled and set to automatic startup. If so, it should be running, or you can start it or reboot to automatically start it. This service is required for both use by the Internet Connection Service (ICS) and by the Windows Firewall. Then check if the Windows Firewall service is also set to enabled and automatic startup.
