Port Forwarding Not Working

Port Forwarding Not Working

I have a Netgear CM1200 modem and a Netgear Nighthawk RAX80 router.  We use Xfinity for our ISP.  I have a minecraft server set up with a static IP that works properly when on the same network.  I have setup port forwarding for the server on the router but it can't be seen off the local network.  Canyouseeme.org is showing the external IP address but says the port is blocked.  What else can I do?  The server is showing up in the table as a custom service.  OS: Ubuntu

I have also ensured that the firewall within Ubuntu is disabled

Re: Port Forwarding Not Working

Do you have uPnP disabled if you have the PF configuration in place? 

Are you actively using the port prior to checking port status?

Re: Port Forwarding Not Working

The server on the port is active.

 

I disabled the Ubuntu firewal (sudo ufw disable) if that is what you mean by upnp

No, there should be a uPnP setting on the RAX routers web page...

I disabled UpNp and external access is still blocked.

Re: Port Forwarding Not Working

Has Armor or any Smart Parental Controls been enabled on the router at all?
