hacked its possible have you reinstalled,or changed anything like new router etc.have you done updates to anything lately.sometimes a minor change can throw a fork in the works.make sure its enabled through the windows firewall.if it is turn it off to see if it will work.

do you have a router.did you have to do port forwarding,or anything like that before to make it work.have you tried turning off the windows firewall.
