I also tested the same with group policy for configuring the firewall and, as described when i define a windows firewall rule in inbound rules, why is my rule negated in theallowed programs and features list?

By default, windows firewall blocks incoming connections from the internet unless the receiving program is on the exceptions list, but it does even if you uncheck or remove the program from the exceptions list, this change only affects incoming traffic, so the program can still access the internet. One quick way to do this is from the control panel. If i turn the win 7 firewall off, no problems with access. I know its overkill and there already a content filter/ network firewall in place, but i've been asked to implement something.
