I've found an article on the internet that explains http://support.microsoft.com/kb/842242 how to open ports in Windows.
I'll try it tomorrow even though I don't know if it's necessary.

If you are confident that you turned the Windows firewall off and you have no other firewalls or other security software installed on this machine, then you don't need to follow this prescription to test X. In order to run X properly with the firewall on, following the article wouldn't be a bad idea if you need help when doing the firewall configuration.
