I have seen similar issues on our corporate (XP and Vista) laptops, somebody decided that the locally running firewall should also block access to localhost. I think you should first verify if that's the case. I'm not a Windows expert, so I don't know how to check if the above is the case. If you are allowed to give the netstat command, try the suggestion from Charles (netstat -ano), if you see status SYN_SENT, it's for sure a firewall issue.
