Any ideas -Port opened in FW but won't work, telnet
Hi all! Glad to join your community, I found the SevenForums in a Google search on this problem...Looks like a real active group!
I have searched Google and also the archives here, but I'm at a loss.
Telnet is turned on. I'm trying to open a port to use with UltraVNC Single Click. The default port is 5500, TCP. I have FlexLM servers listening on multiple ports as well as an SQL server with a database vault for my design data. I use telnet to check for access on a port, and telnet is turned on.
I took an existing Inbound port Rule (that is open with the installation of regular UltraVNC, 5800) and copied/pasted it in the Windows Firewall Advanced Settings, Inbound Rules. I edited the new rule giving it a new name and changing the port to 5500.
When I test from one of my other workstations I get "Could not open connection to the host, on port 5500: Connect failed"
But, when I connect >telnet 192.168.1.33 5800 (the port # that I copied the rule from) it connects immediately.
I have tried changing my new rule to allow Public, Private, both, Edge Translation...
What am I missing? I'm confused that the existing rule works, but my copied rule based on it doesn't allow telnet connection from one workstation to this one.
Thank you in advanced for any thoughts and suggestions!
Cheers,
Tom
