Hello all, I'm having difficulty opening a port to my Virtual Machine. I'm trying to publish a website from Visual Studio to IIS. I have the software installed and a
netstat -an
shows the VM is listening on port 8172. If I
telnet localhost 8172
on the machine it connects fine. I then add an inbound security rule for the VM in the Azure management portal allowing port 8172 on TCP to the server. I also added a rule to the software firewall on the server to allow port 8172.
After setting this up when I go to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and check if the port is open the site confirms it cannot connect to the server on that port (indeed I cannot connect to that port from my machine with telnet either).
I also tried disabling the software firewall on the server entirely to see if I had configured it wrong somehow but it still did not work. I have opened three other ports for other services without any issue but for some reason I can't get port 8172 to open.
Anyone have any ideas?
Appreciate the help!
