I should point out there is a simple GPO setting you can configure to disable the windows firewall should you be using a third party firewall in its place. But again I emphasize you should have a firewall of some sort running on your windows machines at all times. I'll agree with you there AJ, but only in so far as other firewalls are simply easier to manage. Managing Windows Firewalls remotely on a network as we can see here can be a bit of a headache compared to many of the central firewall management tools I've been exposed to.
I particularly like the one for Symantec Endpoint Protection. There isn't any detail as to why he wants the firewall disabled, but in our case we want the firewall disabled on the lan so IT has easy support access, but enabled when out of the office for protection.
This can be done via GPO, set firewall to disabled on Domain network and enabled for all others. To continue this discussion, please ask a new question.

Also, the virtual disk is so huge I can't move it to another physical server. I can only plug the disks of this virtual machine on another VM, and access the filesystem through it. I already tried to replace the registry files by older ones, but it wasn't enough, so maybe the firewall settings are in other files?
If so could you may be able to apply a GPO to the machine to set the firewall configuration as desired. Well, without console access, you are pretty much done for. There isn't a "file" to modify, ala Unix or INI. It's set in the registry. You can try using psexec to see if it will allow you to open a command prompt. The firewall may or may not restrict that. Then you can run the netsh command.
You can also try opening the registry remotely , you can then remove that to allow access. I prefer to disable the local firewall. It's annoying, gets in the way, and I have a much larger firewall that does a better job on the network. No point in adding complexity to the whole setup. You can also do this with powershell, check out this simple script. It looks like every port is closed: I tried to run a nmap on all TCP ports and all of them are reported down. But the VMware graphs show what appears to be a "normal" boot CPU and disk-wise , and the what I think are usual files are modified within the partition.
So nothing seems to be able to go through the network layer I tried the MMC way after seeing B-Rad's post, but it didn't work either. When I suggested to "rename" a file, I was rather thinking of renaming one of the files in charge of the firewall, to completely stop the Firewall service from starting.

When enabled, the server machine has no problem accessing the Internet. However, client machines which look at the server as their DNS controller loose all access to network shares and indeed the Internet.
As well as the default exceptions within Windows Firewall, I have setup every exception I can think of, as well as precisely following Microsoft Knowledge Base Article support. We have a network of around 8 nodes including 6 client PC's although they are not part of a domain.
Hope this helps and thanks so much in advance! Saturday, October 10, PM.
