I don't think they can prevent you from using it locally. The fact that I can ping the IP address you provided means that it's publicly available. This either means that your machine has its own direct connection to the Internet, or ipconfig returned multiple addresses, including the address of your router, and you chose that one to try.
It's probably the latter, because that would definitely cause the error you showed from manage.py runserver. There should be a local IP address for your machine as well. Just try the different ones ipconfig shows until manage.py runsever works with it. I supposed it's possible that a proxy server is in place in your browsers by default, although I'd expect them to ignore 127.0.0.1. But out of curiosity, please check your Firefox settings to see if any proxying is taking place.
