Vista Firewall blocking applications

Hi,

I am having a major problem with Vista. I've just installed Vista Ultimate on my Macbook, the porblem is that nearly all applications fail to gain access to the internet. However, internet explorer etc. does work. Messenger doesn't nor does Steam.

I remember having this issue when I first installed Vista on my pc. There was a command I typed into cmd.exe which disabled the denying of applications connecting to the internet.

My router settings are perfect, it is definately Vista firewall issue.

can anyone tell me how to fix this?
