I'm not familiar w/ Winproxy, but if it's got some kind of "safety" feature such as blocking inbound connections (like HTTP), then that's your culprit.

If in fact that's what's going on, I'll guess it's the concept that you don't want people making connections to YOUR machine. (For those who are not security knowledgable...ie "the average user")
