The Group Policy objects just allow you to change things that you can change in the windows firewall control panel applet (Start -> Run -> Firewall.cpl). But like I said, I dont think its the firewall that is doing it.
I think you could be right. I downloaded Comodo and replaced the standard firewall with it. What I noticed is that every time the router assigns me an IP, it blocks out Internet connectivity for me. Somewhere it stores the IP addresses being allocated to me.

The unsecured connection continues to work for me. That's how I am watching my television shows on hulu.com
