Windows 10: *specified port is already open*

Hi,

I am unable to connect to wired Broadband connection via on board ethernet card Intel. I get this message *specified port is already open*.

Troubleshooter gives me the message "Ethernet does not have a valid ip configuration". I tried connecting through a external modem borrowed from my internet service provider and it worked just fine. I have tried the following :-


netsh winsock reset

netsh int ip reset


ipconfig /release

ipconfig /renew

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /registerdns



While setting up new connection I get the error message "619" and after several attempts the error message changes to "2250". Please help !


kind regards,

Vikram

Port is being blocked

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community forums.

• Are you aware of any changes that happened on the computer prior to this issue?
  

Upon researching, this seems like an issue due to the port scan. You may want to try the steps listed below and check if it works.

• Login to your Netgear
  NX6200 Extender GUI.
  
• Click on Advanced tab and choose
  WAN Setup.
  
• Check the box for Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection.
  
• Allow it to update and check if the port is still being blocked.
  

However, if the issue persists, I suggest you to post your query in the
TechNet Forums, where we have support professionals
equipped with knowledge on port forwarding.

ISP Blocking Port Forwarding Conspiracy???

I've come across a few posts that suggest that some cannot open/forward ports from their modem. It's been suggested that it's a direct result of ISPs trying to crack down on torrenting. However, I am not sure how true this is. Is there a way to test this? Is there a way to see if a port is forward on your modem if it's open or not?
