Mr. Stuky Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hello, I added port 27015 to Windows Advance FIrewall In/outbound TCP and UDP on Windows Server 08 R2. I restarted the server, and the port is still blocked. I dont have any program that would be blocking the port. What could be causing the issue?

Mr-Protocol Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Router port forwarded? or is this a local setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Stuky Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Router port forwarded? or is this a local setup? Local. Its not connected to a router. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 If it's running locally or in a VM you should be able to use loopback and hit it... If not then you have something setup wrong on the server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digip Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Did you maybe use the wrong syntax? Server 2003 and 2008 use different commands. Server 2003 netsh firewall add portopening TCP 27015 “Open Port 27015” netsh firewall add portopening UDP 27015 “Open Port 27015” netsh firewall set opmode ENABLE Server 2008 netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”Open Port 27015” dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=27015 netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name=”Open Port 27015” dir=in action=allow protocol=UDP localport=27015 Netsh advfirewall set currentprofile state on I don't believe you have to reboot for it to take effect either. netsh commands usually take effect immediately.

Infiltrator Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 With Digip examples, you should be able to add those ports to the firewall. If you follow them correctly, it should work without any issues. Also what type of service are you trying to run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
