Firewall Blocking Program - How to open ports?

Hello - I just installed 360 on a laptop with XP and "server" with Vista; I need to run a program (home automation stuff) on the laptop and need to do this:

 

No configuration is required other than to ensure that the ports 7000 and broadcast port UDP 55402 are open on all firewalls and routers. You may have to reboot after making these firewall / antivirus permissions settings for them to come into effect.

 

I have tried to add those ports in the firewall settings in a new traffic rule with no luck.  Not sure if I've provided enough info for this to help but any ideas?  I've actually turned off the Norton firewall and it still doesn't work - all other network operations work fine.  Thanks
