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.
Seriously seconded.
Having no firewall protection with all manner of ports open and advertising for buisiness is`nt the best idea in the world i dont think.Especially with remote desktop etc.I`d be checking my system logs pretty sharpish i think

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
I hear em knocking but they cant come in
