Windows I have problems with ports 80

[Perfectibia]

Hi,
I'm planing on making a tibia 8.6 ot server.. And I've open ports 7171 and 80 in my router (Netgear WPN824v2),
downloaded Xampp and running service MySQL and Apache..

Now the problem is.. that my ports 80 still isn't opened... I've checked it on many port checkers with same results: port 80 is closed.
I really don't know what the problem is because I'm not so familiar with port forwarding.


Further details: I'm on a Windows 7, I have also allowed port 80 on the windows firewall.
Any other questions?


Thanks,
Perfectibia!

Make sure that you're not already using the 80 port with any program such like Skype or another.

Hmm, I've done that now. Closed skype and tested, still closed.

I've also tried to see by going on cmd->netstat -ao.. to see what services were using port 80, and only apache was using it. :/

Is it possible that my xampp is like wrong version? Or does it depend on xampp?

I'm using xampp 1.7.3 32x on windows 7 64x.

There are some virusscanners that block port 80 but not 7171/7172, so if you have a virusscanner, try turning it off or turn the firewall in it off.

Thanks for the replies!

I solved the problem

Problem: When I looked in Cmd first time I forwarded the ports, the IPv4 showed 192.168.1.4.. Later on I checked it when my friend told me.. And somehow the last number on IPv4 was 192.168.1.2... So I changed it, and got it fixed

Set a static local IP, since that number will probably change daily. Google it for some guide how to.
With a static local IP adress it will not change anymore.
