Is your Firewall policy part of your Default Domain Policy? ..or do you have a separate policy applied to your computers OU? If you have a separate policy applied to the Computers OU it is easy. Just exclude the PC that you do not want the policy applie to.
If it is part of your default domain policy you need to move your PC to a new sub OU...lets say named No Firewall, create a new policy for that OU that has the firewall disabled. Any computer you move to that folder will receive the No Firewall policy. OU policy will always win out over Default Domain Policy.

Ask your administrator to disable the firewall for you.
Course there might be an adverse reaction to this request.
If you see smoke coming out of his ears when you tell him why, you'll know it was not a good idea.
