Online Port Checker Sites Saying Ports Aren't Open?
Sep 6, 2012
I googled how to open ports and it told me go in to windows firewall>advanced setting>new rule etc. I want to install a game so I need certain ports to be open and unrestricted. When I used online port checker sites they all say the required ports aren't open
For the past 3 days Ive been trying to open up ports in my router (Siemens sx763) with no luck. Ive done all the port forwarding correctly but when i check the port from a website it say my port is blocked. I use a wireless connection. I think ive done my other router/connections/ip settings wrong but im not sure what it is.

A couple of online file scanner sites that you can upload a file, to scan for any malicious content. Also gives you a little more info. Virustotal's maximum upload file size is 20MB. Jotti's is 15MB.
My media player provides sound but when I try to listen to something on a site called oneplace or when I try and listen to news videos I get no sound. This is or a Windows 7 pc.
I recently installed new software that requires port 8080 to function. When I try to run the software I get an error that port 8080 is being used.How do I check to see what process is using port 8080 so that I can open up the port to run the software? MACHINE: Windows 7x64
How do you reassign COM ports in Windows 7? I have several 30 x USB pic programmers and they are in the 70s, 80s and 90s and I know there is nothing else on the system. My programming software can cope with up to 33 x Com ports so I need to reassign to use ports in that range. how i get in and reassign them?
I have windows 7 IE9. I am unable to see graphics on some web sites. Other sites have areas of text missing. I have upgraded abode and jave. If I have a couple tabs open, it will show on when I look at the tab but I click to open the site and it is blank again.
it took me a while to find the right driver for my ACR38U card reader, but now I've found and downloaded it, it seems none of the sites that work with it (like tax-on-web) will open. It always says "impossible to open page". I'm new on Windows 7, so I quess it's some to do with "security" in "internet options", but I can't find it.
I cant open my ports. My router has DMZ enabled and I have disabled windows 7 firewall and disabled the firewall in ESET Smart Security 4. PORTS STILL WONT OPEN!
I just installed Windows 7 tonight and thus have moved from the Vista forums to here
But of course if everything were going smoothly I wouldn't be here. Now here's my problem, I'm trying to open ports for some of my programs but I havn't been able to. I've done it many times before in Vista with no trouble. I've tried disabling the firewall to see if that worked but it didn't.
Now here's where it gets weird. When I was in Vista I'd use Open Port Check Tool to check if my ports were opened correctly, it always worked. But now when I try it it tells me that my ports are closed, even basic ports like 80 and 21 keep getting:
Error: I could not see your service on 76.68.106.153 on port (80)
So, i've been hosting games for a while but i don't know what happened, after i try to port forward router ports they just won't open :O. Yeh, as i go to Open Port Check Tool it says ''Error: I could not see your service on 62.**.***.*** on port (*****)Reason: Connection timed out''?
I've been hosting servers on various videogames over the year to play with my friends online, recently I tried a game which worked about a month or so ago (mount and blade: warband, I also tried a few others afterwards) but nobody could connect, I checked everything and it should have been working fine but then I looked at various port checking websites and for some reason none of the ports are open anymore.
I've tried changing the port settings, resetting the router and disabling my firewall and none of them seem to work.
So I have started to use windows7 RC and it's build in firewall. Until now i was on win xp with eset firewall. Everything is ok so far except two things:
1.) There doesn't seem to be anything like learning mode for Windows 7 firewall, or is there? How em I supposed to make a rule for application if I don't know what port it needs to open? I know, one can use google, but this can get pretty annoying after a while. Log file also doesn't help much because it doesn't list application names. Is there some kind of 3rd party simple app which would monitor attepts for connection and tell me which port a specific application just tried to use so i could make a rule in windows firewall?
2.) It seems that Windows 7 firewall is creating inbound rules automatically (at least for local applications), can i turn this behavior off?
why I cannot open ports correctly in Windows 7, but in XP I had no issues. If someone has the time..please contact me. I have tried reading, watching videos...
There is a lot of noise, amongst not in particularly, high-power users,but also simple home or office users about open ports, net, web ports, being used,either from Windows itself or applications. DCOM is an example of a Windows service,that is "listening" to the net,but also sends data through out it. Skype does that all the time.What about those open ports, can they be "closed'? Should they be closed,for safety reasons,not to allow to be used by malware, spyware, hackware?
Recently I had to restore my laptop to factory settings and now when I go online and try to click on an image it will not open. the screen goes slightly darker and a single white bar about 6 inches long runs horizontaly across the top of my screen. The background is still visible but thats it. I am using win 7 home on a 64 bit system. Is there something I can reload or enable?
I have spent the last two hours trying to open a port for a remote control application.
I have tomato 1.27 running on an asus wl500gP router.
I am running windows 7 ultimate
i have an Arris voip modem through comcast
The problem is this, i forwarded the port correctly in tomato yet the port is still closed. I have tried the following:
Enabling DMZ
Disabling windows firewall by either the control panel or through services.msc
Enabled UPNP in the application, it opens the port according to tomato yet external port testers still say its closed
reset the router and pc numerous times
hard reset the router
Hooking PC directly into cable modem
I believe that this is strictly a windows 7 issue now as the router is out of the equation. The only security software I have is Avira free edition, windows defender, and (disabled) windows firewall.
Can anyone give me help as to why I cannot open a port? It would be greatly appreciated as I am leaving for a trip in 36 hours and would like to be able to remotely control this application.
I need to open port 80 on my computer. I turned off my router's firewall for testing reasons and port 80 opened but i dont want to keep the firewall down. My router is an XMR100. How I can make an exception for port 80?
I can't open any programs in Windows 7 from my HP laptop. I can't get online or launch .exe files. When I try to open anything, I get the spinning circle by the cursor but then nothing happens and it disappears. So it looks as though it's about to launch a program then doesn't. The IT guy at work told me to download Malwarebytes and run it but the same thing happens - I click on it and get the little spinning circle then it just goes away. And everything I read online says to download this program or that program but I can't even get online to do that. I've tried to do all of this in Safe Mode (Networking), also. Same thing - acts like it's about to launch then nothing.
I would like to know if there is a way I can test if a specific port is open on an IP address and if my PC can connect to that port? How do you do this from Command Prompt? 'telnet iport' does not seem to work since it just says 'telnet' is not recognized as an internal or external command.
I do not want to use a website to do this, since they will test if they can make a connection from their servers to the ip port in question, not if the port between my IP address and the ip in question is open.
I know about NMAP and Netcat, but don't know how that works.
When i dial up, i get some Error Message 633 message about COM port being used by other application or modem not configured properly.
In device manager the modem seems OK, and i dont know of any other device using a COM port. I've tried different drivers, swapping the modem around inside the case but no joy and i'm getting really annoyed now.
im trying to host on WC3 and i went to portforward.com, but i still cant host. when i used a port checker it ways that the port is closed, any help would be nice.
MY computer (windows 7) doesnt open a microsoft outlook mail address online is just says that it cannot display the page or that the page is unavailable i have tried all the browsers I have IE,OPERA,MOZILLA,and GOOGLE CHROME. but its thesame response what should I do thesame site opens on other laptops.
I'm trying to install Sophos and there fore the following ports need to be open: 8192, 8193 and 8194. All firewalls are disabled. But when I do telnet ip address 8192 (where ip address is the ip address of the problem pc) from the server I'm getting the following error message: Could not open connection to the host, on port 8192, connect failed. It's the same result for the other ports.
