PORT FORWARD ISSUES - Tried DMZ, deleted anti-virus and disabled Win FIrewall and Win defender... cant possibly do more
I would also want to share the same issue as i've been reading around the internet and here, and I SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM: I port forwarded before, with Win XP. i know the essentials basics of how it works and which are the steps... But now that i have Win7, i cant get port 26900 (ejamming program) to unblock. I have an ARRIS modem. We are 2 people using it, but i disconnected completely the other pc everytime i tried to unblock this ports and use the program. I have a static IP and the other pc doesnt. I already tried the following: 1- DMZ with my IP address (which is Static, by the way)! My router wasnt possibly interfeering and still my ports were blocked. So IT HAS to be my computer. 2- Disabled and even UNINSTALLED all firewalls and antispywares, as well as disabled completely Windows firewall. (i had the exceptions in both win firewall and antivirus programs for this program and i created inbound rules for this ports, both TCP and UDP). 3- Once i disabled the Win firewall and, as by magic, i thought THERE was the problem! the door was unblocked. but after 5 minutes, just to make a test, i got WIn firewall on again and then off, and never more i got the port open... So, unless i can´t see somethign very obvious here, there is something WRONG with this system. 4- All the IP's are matching, the number of ports were checked over and over again... The door unblocked once and got blocked again IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS! I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO GET THIS SOLVED, SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE SPECIALISTS TO TRY TO NOT THROW SAND TO OUR EYES WORKING AROUND THE BASICS OF THIS PROBLEM AND NOT BEING OF ANY HELP. If you cant figure it out, at least assume here that its a WIn 7 problem, because it most likely is. So, i would advise people on Microsoft to take a look at this issue more carefully and dont discard people has they are doing the most basic error. I would like very much to see an effective reply to this thread, but i must say im not seeing it happen, which is very disrispectfull and unprofessional from Microsoft. So if no one from microsoft there can answer to their own creations, what are we dealing with here?! DOES SOMEONE KNOW HOW TO GO AROUND THIS ISSUE, OTHER THAN UNINSTALLING WIN 7?! Thanks for your time. Rui

tutorial How To Open Ports and Forward them to your Router - AfterDawn Forums http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/223583 Only firewalls can block ports. Port TCP/UDP 26900 is dynamic port. No firewalls disable it by default. Why do you think that the port is blocked? Enter the following command you can see if port 26900 is opened and listening by your program. NetStat –ano If the port is blocked, you need to check the Windows Firewall and the firewall on your router. If the port status is correct, we can confirm that the issue is not caused by the blocked port. I just suspect that the program you are using is not compatible with Windows 7.
