You can find this out by installing nmap + running it against your IP.

nmap -sV -Pn $IP

Open in new window


Since you're using Windows, you'll have to search for how to build nmap.

Or if you have a Linux or Mac machine running inside your LAN, nmap will be far easier to build/install on a UNIX-ish machine.

Example scan...

imac> sudo nmap -sV -Pn davidfavor.com

Starting Nmap 7.70 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-10-20 10:39 CDT

No, it won't actually. That tests your Router/Firewall - it doesn't give you an accurate report of what computer ports may be open and listening. That's incorrect advice for this question.
