Port Forwarding
Well. I'm trying to host a Counter Strike: Source server, which uses port 27015. Now, here's some info. On my router/modem, I had the ports forwarded to my old laptop, which I have since gotten rid of -> the server worked fine on my old laptop. Now I just updated the router, it now forwards the ports to this laptop. So I know my router is doing everything fine, as I've triple checked it, and it had worked previously.
Next, just to test, I completely turned off Windows Firewall. But, I checked my ports here -> just checking 27015. It says it's closed. Hmm.
Now, I'm running a fresh install of Windows 7. I've only got Microsoft Security Essentials on this laptop right now, and I've made sure that no other AV is installed through the control panel. MSE doesn't come with any form of Firewall, so that's not the issue. Before, on my Vista laptop, I had simply allowed the program/ports through Windows Firewall, and it worked instantly.
Is there something I'm missing? I went through my installed programs again to check for anything that might have have a firewall, and nothing pops out. I just can't seem to get it to work. Is there something more that I need to do?
