I cannot connect to a server - any Vista settings?

Hello,

I want to connect to a Team Foundation Server through HTTP. I am not in the network (local nor VPN) with the server I want to connect to. I use the public IP of the server.

From my laptop with XP the server can be reached easily. But on Vista PC I can't make a connection (Vista Enterprise SP1). It is also in a case when I turn off the firewall on Vista.
What then can be blocking this connection?? Are there any settings that I should check?

My XP laptop have never been used with this server before. My IP and DNS are set automatically. I connect via ADSL modem and the same settings are on my XP laptop. I just unplug modem's USB cable from one laptop and plug it to the other...

It is not only HTTP/Visual Studio/browser problem. When I use telnet on both PCs and type "telnet server_IP 9200" (9200 is a port number), then I have the following results:

On XP PC - it connects to the server.
On Vista - NO CONNECTION.

I would be very thankful for help...
I guess it may be a question of some simply settings... but I have no idea which.

Greetings,
Polo
