    Thats a bit vague? Opening ports on what? Do you mean when you go to use a port that you think should be available to you and not blocked anywhere it doesn't do what you expect?

    If you don't have a fixed IP then it just means someone in your IP allocation block has been open relay or sending spam nothing very unusual.

    Just checked my own Eircom IP address and no suprises its on a load of spam blacklist bwtf why would I be bothered as I don't run a mail server I let Eircoms mail servers, Gmail or Hotmail handle my mail for me. I checked an IP address of an Eircom mail server and again no suprises it was on an insignificant blacklist that probably lists every IP that Eircom own just in case.

    Blacklists have NOTHING to do with ports being blocked. Ports and Blacklists are not related in this context.

    Since the last two week I have been having big problems opening ports also, every port i try says its block, checked with the site listed on the first post and all ip's except for one were black listed, i rang imagine regarding one other one and after the call i could open ports again, so something is going on. BTW this site i was trying was black listed before i contacted imagine and now its not.

    I'm on eircom broadband and any ports I have open are still working fine.

    It's either very specific to port 31000 or you're doing something wrong.

    From the link in the first post, my IP was on 3 of the 111 lists.

    Port 31000 is showing up as blocked according to cayouseeme.org.

    I do have other ports open that are working fine though.

    i bet the ports that are working you had already had setup before eircom were hacked, i also have three ports which work fine but anything setup in the last two weeks wont open.

    LOL what do you have on your PC or at your IP that is running on port 31000.

    If there is nothing using the port then of course it will show up as "I could not see your service on 159.134.xxx.xxx on port (31000)".

    If you don't run a web server even port 80 will show up as "blocked" in your language, stop saying BLOCKED unless you have a service running on that port on the system you are testing :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Good idea, but I think TELNET <IP ADDRESS> <PORT NUMBER> from the RUN dialog (XP Vista etc) might be a bit complecated as I have no idea what responce an IP camera would give.

    Edit> or Google network scanner find one you like download it then scan the IP address of the camera and include the ports you are looking for in the scan.

    :o

    You are of course correct. I forgot to change the port I wanted to use on the program I was testing. It gives a successfull result when set up correctly.

    Eircom blocking ports?
    Nonsense, I'm editing the thread title until somebody has facts to prove otherwise as its more then likely down to a PEBKAC error
