hey guys.. one quick question.

Is there a way for me to check which internet ports are closed/open?

ive been having trouble to play Online and when i contacted "activision" they said that it could be because some ports might be closed.

although i dont know why they would close those certain ports at the middle of the semester....
If i could find out which ports are closed, maybe i could ask if they could open them again or something..

 

I have used this program before, it works pretty well and is easy to use and its free.

Net Monitor

 

the link doesnt work..
well, it does send me to the download page but then when i click download it says..

NOT FOUND.
the requested document was not found in this server

 

Sorry about that, try this one, its a little bit more involved but does the same thing and its free.

Smartline Active Ports v1.4

 

Usually, if you want to see all the used and listening ports on your computer, you'd use the NETSTAT command.

Open Command Prompt and type: netstat -an |find /i "listening"

You can redirect it to a text file by adding >c:'openports.txt to the command, if you want to: netstat -an |find /i "listening" > c:'openports.txt

You can also change "listening" to "established" to see what ports your computer actually communicates with: netstat -an |find /i "established"

In Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, you can type NETSTAT -O to get a list of all the owning process ID associated with each connection: netstat -ao |find /i "listening"

Hope this helps you out.

 

ok cool.

thank you;D

 

yeah, i was actually trying to do that a few minutes ago but got a bit confused with so many stuff going on. lol.

what i dont understand is why is it that my friends on xbox arent having this same issue if this certain ports are closed. hmmm i think im calling Infinity ward again lol

 

If you are using a router it most likely isn't Windows, you have to open a port on the router to play games most of the time. What kind of router do you have?

 

I have no idea... I'm in a College dorm.:-/
