Allowing and checking port open in windows 2012

I'm trying to open a port for a particular program. This program is Sonicwall SSO agent which communicates through port 22xx. I installed it and the gateway was not able to access through it. So, I checked firewall on the server it has the agent installed. The program was not in firewall rule. So, I added the program to the firewall, still no luck.
So, I manually configured inbound rule to open the port 22xx with wide open for domain, private, pulbic, and all remote clients'. Then, when I telnet to the port 'telnet x.x.x.x 22xx', it failed.

I ran 'netstat -a' on the server to see if the port is open, it doesn't list the port that I added to firewall.

How do I open the port and see what port is open on the local server?

Dam it was antivirus. I disabled avast temporarily, it came up. And also it looks like it takes 1 or 2 minutes to be effective after turning off antivirus.
Glad you got it sorted (Y)
