TCP port not open?

[Johnny Girth]

Hi guys

Say I want to open port x for an application to use, how do I go about it?

I've set my broadband router to forward that port to my local IP. I've also tried turning off the windows firewall (after merely allowing the port didn't work) and still it says that the specific TCP port is blocked.

Any ideas?

Needless to say you are using a fixed IP address on your LAN, rather than DHCP I take it.

inbound or outbound?

Yep, fixed IP.

Don't know if it's inbound or outbound, all I know is it's for eMule to work...which it currently isn't!
