Virgin port forwarding problem

[Heaven Can Wait]

I've always been able to forward ports properly, but the last month when checking on portchecker its showing as being closed, I doubt there's a problem with the site so i'll let you know what steps i've took.

Windows firewall is off
Ports are forwarded on router

Software that I'm using :
AVG anti-virus free
Ad-Aware
Peerblock
Microsoft security essentials
I thought it could be peerblock but when I close it down it's still showing as blocked

Is there anywhere else I could check to sort it out?

Eh... bump?
I can't think of anything that could be stopping it, anyone?

what router do you have?

does that radio button let you enable/disable the forward?

ie, it might be setup, but disabled..

Hey, thanks for the reply.

NETGEAR WGR614v9
Pretty sure it doesn't allow you to enable or disable it.

Is there anything actually listening on the port your forwarding too?

try running NETSTAT -NAO from a command prompt to see if the application your using is really listening on that port.

I'm assuming the port number is the PID bit?
Nothing.
nothing above 5844 (there's a lot of 5844's)

I actually work for virginmedia and we dont block ports, It may be worth checking the address you have specified"192.168.1.10" is actually assigned to your server, Im assuming you have a static IP set uip. further to that you may need to select the radio button to enable the port forward.

Hey Rich, thanks.
Yeah static IP is done, how do I go about checking its assigned to my server?

this tool checks if the port is open..

Im assuming the server is running some kind of windows, To check what IP is assigned just do a ipconfig from a cmd prompt and that should tell you.
