A software firewall on the internal PC / device is protecting it from the Internet, blocking the incoming users. Either Disable the software firewall or configure it to allow the required Service, Ports and/or Protocols.

The Service may not be running on the device. Check that the correct port is listed as Listening using the 'netstat -a' command from a command / DOS prompt.

The Default Gateway of the internal device is not set as the Vigor Router.

Your ISP is also blocking the Port / Service that you are trying to open. This is most common when setting up SMTP inbound.
