joyent/node — Issue #2536: Node HTTP/TCP example does not work on certain systems (mostly windows)

I have copied and pasted the example code from http://nodejs.org/ into a file called example.js in c:\users\Xenadi\.
I executed node from a command prompt running as Administrator using the following command "node example.js".
The console then showed "Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/".
Tried to connect with my browser but the connection just sat there (didnt time out)
I have also tried to use curl for windows to retrieve some data but no data is received.
I then enabled debugging for HTTP and NET to see if i could track down the issue (output below).

Server running at http://127.0.0.1:1337/
NET: bind to 127.0.0.1

I am at a loss as to the cause of the issue, have reinstalled Node numerous times.

System Details:
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
