You can either temporarily disable firewall or add exceptions. First, click Start and enter the Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, click on Allow a program through Windows Firewall. This will take you to the Windows Firewall Settings window. Now from here, go to the Exceptions tab. Add any effected programs here.
