Port test error

[Shane]

Morning 
Coffee is brewing and I need to get my batch of routers added to the program today before I head out.

So lets get started back with you. It is a very good chance that Mcafee is blocking the ports. Make sure you have my simple port forwarding program allowed through the mcafee firewall.

I am not a Mcafee fan. Your already behind a router which is a hardware based firewall. The only time a user needs a software based firewall is if they need to block out going programs.

But if you wanted a firewall I have a good free antivirus and firewall that I use.
Avira is a great free antivirus and at http://www.av-comparatives.org/ it ranks pretty dang good.
For firewall use comodo 

Anyways lets go from here

All fixed

Had to remove a duplicate port forwarding rule and reboot the router and port forwarding worked fine.

The problem came with trying to test the ports without the port tester.
The port has to have something listening on it in order for the connection to be accepted and the test to pass. Once I used the port tester everything was working fine, even with the firewall software
