It shouldn't have anything to do with Bonjour. That is just something iTunes installed to help it stream music to devices.

It's definitely a network communication problem though. Your network, or at least your pc, is blocking access to other computers. If you had another computer in your house the obvious test is to see if that computer can see http://192.168.1.101:8080 but it looks like you don't.

Both your PC and your Touch can access the Internet so that says that both have their ip information (address, subnet mask, default gateway) set properly. So something is blocking access at a very low level. The likely suspects are the Windows 7 firewall, an over zealous anti-virus program installed (like McAfee) or your router - some newer routers have built in firewalls.

I guess the next step is to turn off the Windows 7 firewall and check connectivity.

If you don't have something like McAfee installed, the next point to look is your router. Something like "AP isolation" or "unblocked anonymous Internet requests". Let me know what type of router you are using and I might track down it's settings for firewall and wireless.
