Are you sure the Windows Firewall is not running on all the servers?

Are you using Windows Server 2008? If so, make sure you change the windows firewall settings to "OFF" for the Domain profile, public profile and private profile

Also make sure you completely disable IPV6 from the properties of the NIC and the registry of the server.
