How to see if a port is open?

[Elliott]

Follow the steps:
1. Sign in to your router's admin site.
2. Go to the Firewall page.
3. Locate the Port Forwarding section.
4. Enter or select the port.
5. Enter your computer's private IP address.
6. Click Save or Apply.
7. Restart the router.

This is entirely dependent on whether or not you have a firewall installed.
