Hi,
We might needed to open a port in windows firewall to allow connections to server via that port. The following steps are useful in doing so.
1, Click Start, and then open Control Panel.
2, Under Control Panel, click System and Security

5, On Advanced settings window you will need to click on Inbound Rules to list current rules. After that click on New Rule to add one.
6, select the PORT
