#Need help with port forwarding
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Unsafe, expensive, bad for most pcs
Just to name a few reasons
Anyways.. The port forwarding on your router may be enabled, but there could be settings from your provider blocking it as well
its my providers router
i think they would make it clear if they were blocking it
and as far as i know isps dont block port forwarding
they can 
its very much more likely im messing up something else
wouldnt turning off firewall as a whole fix it?
i turned it off and its still not working thats the problem
adding an inbound rule wont fix it
see in the last image
I remember trying this as well and couldn't do it because my provider was blocking it :p
Want to sequentially troubleshoot the block? Like are you certain if the router/firewall is blocking? or is it Windows/Linux/iOS? Just need a second device on same network like if Windows host and port 80, another device same network that would allow a normal session to not go across router/firewall.
Okay, I see your image on port 5000. Two devices on the same network subnet (192.168.1.x addresses) like same Wifi or wired to the same network switch: You could turn off your cable modem if you want to be super secure back to the Internet. If there are two Windows 10 computers (or 11 or 7 etc) the computer as host be sure the program you intend to run at port 5000 is running. Try from that very same computer to browse to that address or http://127.0.0.1:5000 . from both you should get the expected login prompt. If not try this: Start, run, CMD <enter> to get a DOS style black command prompt. A netstat -ab shows the open ports in Windows.
This output shows that I have for testing ports 7,9, and 13 open. Let us know what you find locally or DM if needed.
thanks for the help
