A potential solution...
Hey guys,
I was reading this post the other day while struggling with the same problem of the Apple 'Remote' app authentication to a laptop running Windows 7.
After fiddling around with both my Norton 360 firewall and the built-in windows firewall for no use, i solved the problem when creating a port 'rule' in my D-Link wireless router settings.
Enabling the ports 3689 for TCP and 5353 for UDP (according to Apple's website) instantly allowed the Remote application to authenticate with iTunes.
i added a screen shot if anyone would want to try something similar with his router.
* "trigger type = both " , "public type = both" refers to both TCP & UDP.
