In the Windows Firefall, you mean? The command is "netsh firewall add

portopening ?" - that will display various options for opening ports using

netsh.

When I finally got the sytax correct, I get the mesage "The service has not

been started". Is there a way to open a specific port when the firewall is

turned off?

There will be no need to "open ports" when the firewall is switched off. All

listening ports will be able to receive incoming traffic in this case.

I could be wrong but I think you mean "open a port" as in "configure the

computer to start listening to that port". Am I correct? If so, in order to

open a port you'll need to bind a listening service or application to it.

You cannot just open ports, you need something to listen to that port.
