Vista and ports.

I know that the needed ports are open on the router, I set it up to do so with another computer earlier, and it works there. But something on this newer computer is blocking the ports, and so I can't host from this computer. I've tried turning off norton, and the windows firewall.

do both computers have the same ip address ?

you need to setup static the machine with a static ip and when you forward the port forward it toward that ip address (eg 192.169.0.2)

Same IP's.

Have you set up a proper rule in Windows Firewall?

It would help if you could detail exactly what you're trying to do and at which point it fails to do what you're expecting.

The apache works fine, (Got a 64 bit mod.) , but the port simply doesn't appear open from this computer. I already said, the firewalls are off.
