Pls help on opening the port?

I'm trying to telnet 127.0.01 through the port 51003

I''ve tried by adding the port in the advanced tab of network properties

1.Click Start, and then click My Network Places.

2.Under Network Tasks, click View Network Connections. (Or, right-click My Network Places on the desktop, and then click Properties.)

3.Right-click the connection that you use for the Internet, and then click Properties.

Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings.

Note If the Settings button is unavailable, ICF is not enabled on this connection, and you do not have to open any ports (because they are all already open).

4.Click Add to open a new port.

5.In the Description box, type a friendly name. For example, type File Sharing : Port 445.

6.In the Name or IP address of the computer hosting this service on your network box, type 127.0.0.1.

Note You can specify the IP address of an internal computer. But you typically will use 127.0.0.1.

In the External port and Internal port boxes, type the port number. Generally, this number is the same.

7.Click either TCP or UDP, and then click OK.

But I'm not able to telnet it even now....???

    It sounds like something might be blocking people from connecting to it. This could either be your firewall, or even your router. I have a nifty site here; http://portforward.com/ which can solve all of your port forwarding problems.

    To find your modem brand, there should be a sticker somewhere on it. find it on the list, click on telnet, then simply follow the instructions, and you should now have traffic going to, and from your telnet server.
