Logitech TouchMouse for iPhone (Windows)

So earlier today, I downloaded the Logitech TouchMouse iPhone app. First I installed the app, then I installed the Logitech Tough Mouse Server on Windows 7. But the annoying thing? It didn't work. Why? Because of the built in Windows firewall. Thing is, the instructions are really vague. So I'm here to tell you how to make this work. In Windows 7 (or Vista), click on Start and type the word "Firewall". You will see a list of things come up. Click on the one that says, "Allow a program through the Windows Firewall". You'll notice everything is grayed out. So at the window, click the "Change Settings" button. This ungrays everything and allows you to make changes. Scroll down to the "Logitech" exception and make sure both check boxes are checked. Then just click ok. It should all work after that. See the below picture for reference.
