So i was trying to port forward a port , but the ports don't open . I'm Using Windows 8.1 . The port i am trying to open is 88 . I have a static IP
What i have already tried is :
----By going into my router settings -> port forwarding -> adding a new port
----I did make new inbound rules in windows firewall for the port i want to open (ie., 88 for both TCP and UDP separately )
BUT WHEN I CHECK for the OPEN PORTS using an ONLINE PORT SCANNER , the ports are always closed !
I have already tried turning off the firewall .
I have also tried checking the port with the applications i have installed i.e., whether if any application is using that particular port or not (used netstat -a -b)
I even tried port forwarding a random port (like 6984) but its still closed !
I tried 3 different online port scanners for scanning the open ports !
Router i am using is a Netgear WNR612.
