How to send request through corporate firewall

Question

I want to send web service request through the firewall. I am having one restlet web service on my PC, and i want to access that web service from my laptop.

For that i did following things.

1. I have started my web server on my PC port 8080.
2. I have created proxy which redirect port 80 requests to 8080.
3. I have added two Inbounded rules in firewall.
   • added TCP proxy with port 80.
   • added UDP proxy with port 80.

Now, localhost:8080 and localhost:80 both working fine in my PC. But, I am not able to open using XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80 from my laptop.

If i am turn off my firewall and then try to access XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:80 from my laptop and it's working good.

Can anyone tell me what i am missing to configure proxy in firewall?
