Hi
You can try using this method to view your computer TCP and UDP Port
Start>>All Programs>>Accessories>>System Tools>>Resource Monitor
How do you find the TCP & UDP of your computer?

I had a talk with my ISP about blocking of ports and he offered to activate a port, which is fine. He asked for my TCP and UDP of my computer, which I'm pretty sure doesn't even exist. Is he talking out of his **** or does that actually exist, if so how do I find it?
For context im trying to forward a port that was forwarded awhile ago, but randomly closed and the only suspect is my ISP. Windows is every way shape and form tells me it is open, also my wifi extender doesn't have the ability to block ports and only acts on the rules my router gives it.
My ISP has given me the run around for about a day now so it's been pretty annoying trying to get this issue resolved. Hopefully he wasn't lying and he was actually attempting to help me, he seemed really nice so I doubt he was lying.

By the way, are you using 25565 port for playing minecraft?

25565
"What Brand and model of your router and which ISP you are using?"
ISP: Spectrum
Brand: Default Spectrum Router
Model: REV:1 (that is all I could find, I don't know where to look for the model)
"Are you using FIX IP or using DDNS?"
Not sure what you're asking, but I'm using a static IPv4 if that's your question.
"Static IP Assignment within DHCP IP Pool" is what it's called in the router settings.
"Can you take a look at the router log to see if any error show up which may provide more hints?"
**"**And what kinds of work around your ISP provided to you"
The usual things "Have you tried turning it off and on again"
I reset my router and extender as they asked (even reset my computer and extender a second time)
One wanted me to reset my modem, but we got disconnected from the call. He didn't call back even though he said he would if we got disconnected.
Tonight I got farther with one, and he wants my TCP and UDP of my system and in the morning I will call back with the info and they will try to "activate" the port. I don't know why they would considering I have it already port forwarded in the settings and it worked before like that.
I cannot thank you enough for helping me out with this. I was beginning to lose up of solving this issue before tonight. Being able to get farther with the ISP and getting replies on the forums always helps a ton!

2019-02-24T03:28:43+00:00 Generally speaking, If you know how to do a port forward in the router and it used to work, the problem probably comes from your ISP. Of course, there are always some exceptional cases.
To deep down your problem, Can you tell me which port you are forwarding? What Brand and model of your router and which ISP you are using? Are you using FIX IP or using DDNS ?
Can you take a look at the router log to see if any error show up which may provide more hints?
And what kinds of work around your ISP provided to you?
Thanks
