Hello, so i've been trying to port forward 4976-4977 & 28960-2896; But i cannot seem to get the ports to open. My router is a AT&T BGW320, ive allowed the ports through my firewall, searched for fixes, ect for hours but so far this is what is have.

whenever i open the command prompt (Netstat -a) i cant see those ports either, its weird. If anyone could help me out that would be greatly appreciated!

EDIT: I also checked a UDP port checker, it is still closed and upnp is disabled. (network is set to private)

@MrBourbonHeat You might have set your rule badly.
Send a screenshot of how you set the rule, we need to see all

@lResxt

Here are my Inbound/Outbound rules,

(Inbound)

https://gyazo.com/6c23081beb977e28ca106b4326702227

(Outbound)

https://gyazo.com/b329a430d0161e6600beaf2eb9243632

All of which are set to "Allow The Connection"
and are Enabled.

I believe I followed the Toms Hardware article correctly, and i've never previously had troubles with port forwarding, but this has me stumped.

Edit: I can join others on the server list, just cannot join a friend.

@MrBourbonHeat Port forwarding only applies to your computer. Meaning you can host games and people can join them. If you cannot join your friend it means he needs to port forward or turn on UPNP.

@JezuzLizard He hasn’t port forwarded; but his upnp is enabled.

However; if my upnp is disabled, and it’s saying my ports are closed, why am I able to join others ?

That what I’m not understanding

@MrBourbonHeat upnp as well as open ports only matter for the host of the match or dedicated server.

Also port checker websites almost never work, wouldn't trust those.

@Dss0 I see, So based on this information; what am I doing wrong that It still says my upnp is disabled, and my port isn’t open. I’m at a loss lmao

@MrBourbonHeat this is your Windows firewall rules. Useless to me. Show me the port forwarding rule. This is on your router. Just like the first screenshot

You can add me on Discord if you wanna solve this quickly Resxt#5079. If you do this answer with your name here. I decline friend requests by default unless I know who is adding me
