Port Forward Not Working

I have set a port forward in my Xfinity app and restarted the router for it to take effect. This has still failed to allow connectivity to my local machines port.

Howdy user_p6scab 👋 I appreciate you stopping by our community for help, and we got it from here! I know how important port forwards can be for someone once setup, so if you're running into trouble, start by ensuring the device is using an IPv4 address and DHCP since port forwarding does not work with IPv6 or static IPs. You'll also want to check if Advanced Security is blocking access as you might need to allow access for a specific device. One other thing you can try if you have not already is editing or deleting the port forward and recreating it. Please let us know if this helps!
