Port Fowarding unsucessful, ports remain closed

[OGCaligula]

This question gets asked a lot, I know and I've looked through all the previous answers, but nothing helps.

I need port 80, 443 and 6112 open to play the Original Guild Wars, because I experience a lot of what looks like package loss or server desync, and so far opening those ports is the only solution I have.

I have done the port forwarding on my router and added protocols for the windows firewall, but according to portchecker only Port 80 is open, the others remain closed. I don't know what I did wrong or what I'm missing. I've watched videos and read how-to's and I've done it all exactly like there.

Well then you may have come to the end of the road. Only befriending a real geek who can come to your house may save you.

We geeks who do this all the time knows instinctively what to look for but heck if anybody has time to write a step-by-step, accounting all possible scenarios.

I think the ISP can throw you a monkey wrench by blocking port 80 and others, they try to dissuade home users setting up servers and using more bandwidth. Different router brands may handle port forward *just* a little differently to throw you off.

I know, this doesn't help.

Well, I forgot to mention that I managed to open Port 80, and I followed a Guide from the Manufacturers website so I don't think it's my ISP blocking me.
