For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.You say turn ALL of my firewalls off...using more than one can cause conflicts/problems...you should use only one.
Usually right click the Firewall icon...bottom left on screen and click exit...what Firewalls are you using?
Using the Windows one alone shouldn't cause any problems but it isn't as strong as Zone Alarm etc.
To turn the Windows one off...Start/Control Panel/Windows Firewall.
Don't forget to TURN THEM BACK ON...also run scans to ensure nothings come down if you were on the net while they were off.
