Windows Firewall has changed for Vista and excepting port 113 doesn't solve the problem. I've spent about an hour on this just now and decided that I'm just going to have to turn off Windows Firewall on my work laptop when I'm working from home. This, in itself, isn't an issue for me, but I know I'm not always going to remember to switch it back on when I'm using it elsewhere, which is a problem. If anyone reading this knows the Vista solution, please let me know. I should point out that the above doesn't work on Vista.
