You need to open it and forward it from your router to your computer.
If you are not behind a router but have a firewall, you need to allow access on that port.
Are you trying to run a server? If so, there's more than just that port that you need to open.
If all you're trying to do is play online, you should not have to open any additional ports.

how do u open it??????????:cry: :weird: :confused: :eek:

Log on your router and open it. I can't walk you through it because I don't know what make and model of a router you have.
Pick up the user's manual, it's all detailed in there

Do you have a router or a modem?

This (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;842242) will be helpful if you are using Windows XP with service pack 2.

If you don't really understand it, running a server might not be a good idea.

aol is blocking the router and i dont know how to open it:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

a) Do you have a router or modem? A modem is most likely plugged in via usb. Router via ethernet.

b) Why do you think AOL is blocking the port?

c) Don't use AOL ;)

Finally I would strongly suggest >not< running any kind of public server if you are not reasonably confident with what you are doing.

MonsterMadness said it. If you don't know how to do a simple thing such as opening up a port, you have no business running a server just yet.
Do some reading and don't be too lazy to read your router's documentation.

i have no router docs.

[legacy-fishbone]

But you do have internet access.
And google
