(This must be how my foreign language teacher felt when she complained 
of having to discuss grammar before French.)

Ok, 127.0.0.1 is an internal (w.r.t. what ever you are typing on) 
address.  It shouldn't go out of your computer let alone through the 
router.  There are a bunch of special IP address that are beyond this 
thread (go and learn, there are lots of resources!).

It's more like the squeezecenter server is not running.  Does 
cntrl-alt-delete still bring up a window in Vista (I think you said you 
were running Vista) where you can pick the task manager and see if 
squeezecenter is still running?

If not, well, there are darn few people that know how to run regedit.  I 
would suggest rebooting Vista and checking again.  If squeezecenter is 
still not running try un-installing it and re-installing it.

If worked before the fire wall is probably not your problem.

BTW, SqueezeCenter uses several ports in normal operations.

While you are at it, make it a duel boot system and install a copy of 
Linux! :-).

So, some help here from people using Vista as a SqaeezeCenter server 
would be good.  What, if any, problems did you have to deal with?
