Port forwarding problem.
Here is the problem I am having, I take this port I wish to forward, enter it, and I enter my internal IP. I then go and and make an inbound exception for the port I had forwarded. I go and check if the port is open and surprise surprise, it's still closed. I am totally stumped on this and any would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Lee.

Re: Port forwarding problem.
Is the rule actually added to the GUI?
How are you checking if it is open etc?

Re: Port forwarding problem.
Having the same issue, checked and double checked and can't seem to get these ports open, using the simple portforwarding tool

Re: Port forwarding problem.
Have you checked it with the application it is opened for?
What port are you trying to open and what's it for?
