I'm guessing maybe this is a VM?
Either way, I tend to prefer hardware firewalls over software firewalls for this reason ESPECIALLY on Windows. With a "real" firewall, you can generally maintain a connection to the firewall (if you've set it up right), and that way if you firewall off the wrong port and need to reverse something you can still do so.
