Open ports yet again - Netgear R6200
Hi I've had Windows 7 Ultimate for years and never had any issues opening ports on this router. I recently installed Windows 10 Pro, and today I wanted to open some new ports like I've always don...
I've been in a long chat with my ISP. The port checker program from portforward.com see all my ports as open now, so I will use that program in the future. These online services are not working as they should do obviously.
Problem solved.
I've never had to do that before, but I tried since you suggested it. It does not work. I even tried turning upnp off, and checked my ipv4 adress still was the same, and still nothing. I've hosted an online internet server in the game ARMA 3, and I checked the ports 2302 and 2303 which is for ARMA3. I also checked 3478, 4379, 4380 and 27000-27050 which should be for Steam.
Then you're doing something wrong somewhere and you don't provide much info either. Ports are forwarded on the router? is something listening on your PC on these ports?
I run a torrent client on port 7200 and here when it's running you can see that the site says port is open (reachable) - https://owncloud.teambelgium.net/index.php/s/rAtYRw9LaN1WPnp
If i shut down the client and test again, site says it's closed because nothing is listening on it despite the port being open - https://owncloud.teambelgium.net/index.php/s/OdSBCZ9BgxumEjW
Btw, you may need to set NAT filtering to Open. That may solve your issue. I completely forgot about that one since I'm on Tomato and haven't used stock firmware for quite a while
microchip8 you just found out you couldn't find any answers yourself, so you are blaming ME for lack of information. Stop projecting your own shortcomings on others, you will never learn anything by doing that.
What you just did is rationalization to cover up yourself.
Tip for the future: If you don't know, you don't know. Never pretend to be someone or something you are not, because people need to trust people. Whatever you will try to say against what I've said now will be excuses and intellectualization. Please, don't act smart, be smart.

Here is what I've always done and has worked before windows 10.
