This topic belongs to mining section.

Now coming on to your query, you can plug the antminer to your PC in a second network card and enable internet connection sharing. That will work if you have an always on PC.
From what I can interpret is that your primary firewall is blocking its connection.

Alternatively you can check out Dogie's Comprehensive Bitmain Antminer S4 Setup here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=813417

You do need to move this topic to the mining section.  In the mean time while you do that, you might want to check all the setting on your system and verify that it is even being recognized by the network.  I would start there.

Is it plugged into the router directly by an ethernet cable.
I was recently told that patch ethernet cables are needed (which are ones specialised for router→pc transfer instead of pc→pc transfer).
Also, if the ethernet cable or internet connection are incapable of transferring sufficient data the miner will not start for protection to it so it isn't damaged!
