Can't open port 2050

I'm setting up a home surveillance system. It requires me to forward a few ports to the DVR. 2 of them have worked, but port 2050 will not open. I have checked with my ISP and is not being blocked. Any ideas?

Usually it's your router that would be blocking ports. Can you explain how PoliticAverse Sep 2013 #1

Ports 9000, and 80, have been forwarding to the address assigned to the DVR in the same way port 2050 has been. But when checking with http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ , port 2050 is showing as closed and the others s open.

EDIT - The port is showing as open now. I'm not sure why it didn't before. Thanks

sounds like we have the same system....I wonder if you had any luck with port 2050? I'm using a netgear N600 and have spent way too much time with optimum support.

Thanks,
David

It was open before and now it is closed. This only affects my ability to stream from my phone. I can still access the dvr from another computer for streaming and playback.

edit - I updated my router and now they are open and streaming on my phone is working.

Is it only port 2050 that you are having a problem with forwarding?
