First thing off the top of my head is your ISP blocks outgoing 80. My question would be why do you need to forward it. You can always trigger 80 for 8080 or something simular. Port 6113 is for WOW?

Basically man, we need a lot more info. What does your network consist of? What are you trying to do? What is telling you the ports arent open? "Need more input"

Can you walk us through what you did to forward them? And yes, why do you need to forward port 80? Do you have an HTTP service running on your computer that others need to access?

@Hard Harry

I think you meant incoming. If his ISP would block outgoing 80 he wouldn't be able to access the Web.

How do you figure? TCP/UDP traffic on :80 would be from server > incoming > PC. They want to block PC > Outgoing > Server. Basically block your upload on port 80 so people can't download from your PC. Am I incorrect?

@Hard Harry

When people talk about outgoing and incoming in association with ports they refer to requests, not responses. That's because the request is the first part of an exchange which you supposedly want the firewall to block.

So basically if I speak about someone (ISP) blocking outgoing port 80 for me, it means they block my outgoing requests on port 80. You make such requests each time when you access an URL in your browsers.

In the same manner, incoming on port 80 refers to incoming requests to your PC made by others on port 80. Those you can block if you're not running an HTTP server locally.

@blackhex666

How does your computer obtain its IP? DHCP or manual settings? And if DHCP have you configured it so that it always gets the same IP?
