Carlos was right: adding a new rule for the Windows firewall did the job: Windows Firewall -> Extended Settings -> Incoming Rules -> New Rule Allow connection Program: <path to spyder executable> Protocol and Ports: TCP IP-Adress incoming and outgoing port: 127.0.0.1
Maybe the rule could be constrained further, but I'm not a network expert. You do need Admin rights under Windows 7 to change firewall setting, so this might be a problem for some users at their workplace. Cheers, Christian Am Mittwoch, 24.
