It depends on the firewall. If you're using Norton, try turning it off and seeing if it works. Also, if you're on a router or your friend is, you'll need to forward that port. It could also be your friend's PC, I've had that experience before. Try turning firewalls off on both PCs, and if it exists, forward the port on the router or disconnect the router and see what happens.
