How do I close a port?

[Holly_Hobby]

I opened a port for Sling TV, but I don't watch it on my computer anymore. I want to close the port, but I can't find anything on Help. TIA!

1. do you have a router ?

If not, we'll go to Step Two.

2. No router, just a cable wifi box n/t

3. does your cable wifi box have a firewall in it ? sometimes they do

Look at the documents that came with it.

If not, we'll talk about the Windows firewall, if you use Windows.

4. Cable provider says no firewall,

I had to call them, they didn't furnish any paperwork.

5. ok I'm assuming you have Windows operating system

click the Start button in the lower left hand corner

Find the Control Panel icon, click that

click System and Security

click Windows Firewall

click Allow an app or Feature through Windows Firewall (left hand side)

Now tell me if you see anything that looks even remotely related to Sling. Then we'll proceed.
