Port was still closed even after allowing in the firewall?

Hi Guys,

We have created an Inbound and Outbound rules in the servers firewall to allow a certain TCP port but it appears that the port was still closed by performing a local port scan. We tried turning off the firewall and stopping the firewall service itself but it makes no difference. Is there any other configuration we might be missing? Any advise how we could open the port successfully in the server?

Thank You,
