Firewall issue?

I have tried turning off windows firewall and have got the ports open on my router will try turning off antivirus but am sure that has no firewall built in

Firewall off in windows anti-virus off and still no joy i'm begging to think this is somthing so simple that i'm overlooking it please all Ideas no matter how stupid or trivial Thanks.

Yup answered it myself was somthing simple i had applied the rule for port forwarding twice on my router and it was causing conflict deleted them both and hey presto cant host but am online again sorry to bother all.

It is always the small things that get overlooked thankyou all for your time Lee.

I'm glad you finally sorted it out .
