Is the port status 'LISTENING' indicated that the port is opened? It means that some service is listening to that port on your computer for incoming connection i.e. This port is open for establishing new connections. Any port that are not shown in the output indicated that it's closed? After contacting game helpdesks I was told certain ports need to be open in order to ensure a smooth connection. So I set up a static IP and port forwarded from my router. However even after forwarding, some ports are still being shown as 'CLOSED' when testing. For example Call of Duty Black Ops requires 3074 TCP/UDP port open to play smoothly.
Windows Opened Ports
SI System Integration d.o.o. is an IT service provider.
If your firewall(s) is blocking the connections, than you should find references in your firewall logs. No connection should be blocked, without creating a log line.
So I think, it would be best, to inspect the logs of your firewalls to find the one that is blocking the connections.
Opened Ports But Still Closed
You could also do some packet capturing behind the first firewall, to see, if the connection requests came trough the first one and than focus on the second firewall, if they did - or research the config of the first firewall, if they did not.
Opened Port But Still Closed Due
On WatchGuard firewalls, we have a tool called 'real time traffic monitor', that gives us information about all logged connections in real time. Since denied ones are logged by default, we can see the connection being blocked, together with the reason why the firewall has blocked it. Makes it easy to troubleshoot such cases. I don't know if you have something like that on PAN or ASA (afraid not?).
