It's a good idea to do a www.google.com search before posting.

"There are a few circumstances that might require you to disable Windows
Firewall.

Servers that are running Routing and Remote Access

You should not enable Windows Firewall on a server that is running Routing
and Remote Access. Routing and Remote Access has its own firewall, which
makes Windows Firewall redundant and unnecessary, and Routing and Remote
Access might not run if you have Windows Firewall enabled."
