Erm......you turned all your firewalls off! Please, please, please turn them back on now! I would *SERIOUSLY* suggest that if you want to troubleshoot this problem safely either unplug your router from your cable modem or (more fiddly with IP addresses) connect your laptop and PC with an RJ45 crossover cable.

Either way you can then safely disable firewalls or open ports and test bits of software without the risk of intrusion and it is a serious risk. Sorry in advance if you have done this - just you didn't mention it in your post
