Ok, I want setup a server for a game called Minecraft, I looked at every tutorial out there. Port I need open is 25565, but no matter what I do I can't get it open, and I know its the Norton security suite fault because my friends who do have a server working don't have Norton security suite. Please sent me a easy to follow how-to-guide, so I can have my own server.
My system info
I am using a wireless internet for my computer
windows 7 ultimate
32-bit operating system
Linksys Router WRT54G
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely, Daniel Pace

Thanks, but this is very confusing.
Again, I apologise. I did a search to speed my reply,
Have you seen this site yet? (I checked the security reports from Norton and McAfee, just in case; it appears safe):
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Minecraft_Server.htm
To allow access through Norton, follow these steps:
•Open Your Norton Product (Security Suite)
•Click Settings.
•Click Firewall.
•On the Traffic Rules tab, click Add.
•click Allow, then Next
•[I believe you would choose] allow connections from other computers.
—is this a public or private server? [I believe] Private servers require you to add individual computers’ to the “list” of what is affected by this; It requires more maintenance than publics. notify me if this is what you want.
if this is for a public server:
•Choose the default setting, Any Computer, then Next
•[not 100% sure on this, others reading this, confirm or correct me] choose protocol “TCP and UDP”.
•Choose “Only communications that match all types and ports listed below”
•Click Add. Under Filter by, choose “Individually specified ports”.
•Under Locality, [I believe the port is so] choose “Remote”
•Enter port number 25565
•Select “OK” then “Next”
•Create your own name for this as prompted
•Continue following on-screen instructions

If you have questions, just ask! Keep me updated on your situation
I try anything. :(
It's still not working
Did you read the first link I posted? You need a Static IP address to use port forwarding. This page and the links it provides should give instructions on how to obtain a Static IP address with this router; it should also give instructions for port forwarding for your router.
http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/Minecraft_Server.htm
As a side thought, is there any other running firewall on your computer? Interference may occur.
Try changing the rule to “Allow connections to and from other computers”
Also, experiment with the setting (found at the end of the setup) for “Apply this rule” under “When packet is from NAT Traversal”
When done, try testing the results with the link at the bottom of the page I provided and at canyouseeme.org
Are you able to setup the server for Minecraft if you disable/turn off Smart Firewall in Norton Security Suite?
If you have not tried that, please check it. If the problem persists, uninstall Norton Security Suite & check. You may be able to reinstall your Norton Security Suite later. Let us know the results.
Thanks,

Sorry to state the obvious. But did you forward the port on your router?
Try disabling Norton's firewall for a quick test. But re-enable it immediately after test.
try setting router to DMZ for a quick test as well, then re-enable DMZ as it opens up your router completely.
Hi,
these are the steps you have to do:
1. Open Norton Security Suite
2. Click on Settings
3. Go to Firewall Settings
4. Here you can go to the Program Rules (if you know which exact application needs the opened port) or go to the Traffic Rules (if you do not know the exact app, or would like to open the port for everybody)
5. If the first, find your application on the list and click on Modify, or if it's not listed click on Add /In this scenario when it's asked, select Manually configure Internet access, and click OK/. If you would like to add a general rule, not just for one single application, on the Traffic Rules click on Add. /Steps from here are the same for both way/
6. In the Add Rule wizard, select Allow, and then click Next
9. Select "to and from", and then click Next
10. Select the computers that the rule should monitor, and then click Next
11. On the protocol settings window select TCP and UTP, and the "Only communications that..." option, and click on Add.
12. On the new window select individual ports (for both local and remote), click OK and then click Next.
13. If you want the logs for this rule to be saved, check Create a Security History log entry, and then click Next.
14. In the "What do you want to call this rule?" box, type a name for the rule, and then click Next
15. Review the new rule settings, and if they are correct, click Finish
16. Click Move Up to move the rule to top, and make it a higher priority
17. Click OK / Apply and close Settings.
Let us know the results.
