    What firewall did you turn off? There may be two of them (not necessarily running at the same time):
    - Windows firewall
    - 3rd party firewall

    I really don't see what else could cause this sort of trouble (i.e., some applications allowed to connect and some not) other than a firewall, or, perhaps, incorrect proxy settings if there is a proxy.
