Hello all, I'm having difficulty opening a port to my Windows 2012 R2 Virtual Machine. I'm trying to publish a website from Visual Studio to IIS. I have the software installed and when using a netstat command I can see that the machine is listening on port 8172.
netstat -an
I have also been able to successfully connect to port 8172 on the local machine so I know the application is listening correctly and can make a connection on that port.
telnet localhost 8172
I then added 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 all of this configuration I am unable to connect to my VM from my desktop so to eliminate my network from equation I go to http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/
and check if it sees the port is open. The site confirms it cannot connect to the server on that port either.
Other Information:
- 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 ports 80, 443 and 1433 without any issues in the past but for some reason I can't get port 8172 to open.
- I am not using the classic VM and not using the classic Azure portal interface.
- I have deleted and readded the port forward rule more than once to know avail.
Anyone have any ideas?
Appreciate the help!
