Gonna show how nooby I am.  Have you tried it without the firewall 
momentarily to see whether that is the cause of it.  I had a situation 
where the firewall was open for tcp packets but udp packets where needed 
as well hence it wasn't working I narrowed it down by dropping the 
firewall and testing.
