Actually ,  Today's Internet security suite  having inbuild firewall and in that firewall, firewall rules are preconfigured by their companies. you need set the firewall settings as per you need. may be you will find the security mode of firewall. it will ask you on which mode you want to set your firewall setting. if you will set higher security mode then it will block the sharinig also.

Hi,

please check and see if you have disabled windows firewall. Apart from that please follow the below guidelines to enable file sharing in your machine.

Here are the step-by-step instructions to configure Kaspersky to allow file and print sharing:

Open Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0
Click the 'Settings' button. This opens the main settings window.
In the menu on the left, click the black box to the left of where it says 'Protection' to expand the list of options beneath it (if it is not already expanded).
Click 'Firewall'. This opens the firewall options.
Under 'Filtration System', click the 'Settings...' button. This opens another settings window.
Note: Be careful, there are two of these buttons on the same screen under different categories. Make sure to click the one towards the top.
Click the 'Zones' tab.
Highlight the zone for your network adapter by clicking it once. You can find the correct zone by scrolling to the right and looking under the 'Description' column. If it lists the name of an ethernet card as the descirption then that is the one.
Note: If you have two adapters, for instance one wireless and one ethernet, you will need to do this to whichever one is used for sharing. Both adapters can be set for this as well, if needed.
Under 'Rule decscription (click underline parameters to edit):' find where it says 'Zone Status: Internet'. The word 'Internet' is in blue letters with an underline. Click it twice so it changes to "Local Network".
Note: Do not use the 'Trusted' setting. It is very insecure.
Click 'OK'.
Click 'OK' on the previous Window.
Close Kaspersky. Do not worry, this does not close the entire program. It will still be running and guarding the PC.
Do this to all PCs which will be used to share files and/or printers.
