Since it works in loopback (127.0.0.1) but not through the network IP (192.168.1.137), and since you mentioned that you see the packet in wireshark, I would guess this is a firewall issue.  Check for firewalls running on your Windows box, which may be blocking UDP traffic on the port you are using.
