I have a web service that I'm going to need to open ports for.

I've used my Verizon router to open the ports. The port-checker service I use checks for games, so I'm testing my ability to open ports using port 2302. Here are the settings I'm using for my router:

The port checker service at whatismyip.org shows this port to be closed. How do I open it, am I doing something wrong? Thanks for any help in advance.

Are the games hosted on a individual computer? – Joe Dec 18 '11 at 9:55

Try forwarding the ports rather than just opening them.

What does that look like? – Archio Dec 18 '11 at 5:38
@Chromium: Your screenshot shows that they're already forwarded; I believe people are being confused by you having described them as "opened". – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Dec 18 '11 at 16:07
I understand. So if they're already forwarding, how do I test that? – Archio Dec 18 '11 at 23:19

The port checker service is correct; the port is closed on 192.168.1.14. Try checking while the game is running.
