    Well, your Netgear GS105 is actually a switch, and it doesn't have a firewall built in, so it doesn't block any ports.

    Those ports are probably being blocked by a router's firewall or even a software firewall installed on your computer.

    What kind of router do you have and do you know if you have a firewall installed on your PC?

    do you mean forward ports?


    Port Forwarding
    Port forwarding allows selected servers running on the LAN side of the router to be accessed from the WAN side. Requests from the WAN to a configured TCP or UDP port will be forwarded to the selected IP address on the LAN. NAPT functionality ensures that the LAN-side server is known to the WAN only through the public IP address. The server’s actual private IP address remains unknown to any WAN-side hosts.
    To configure port forwarding:
    1. Select Setup>Port Forwarding from the left navigation pane of the Web interface. This displays the “Port Forwarding Configuration” window.
    2. Under Add/Edit Entry, do one of the following:
    • Select the service you want to configure from the Select service by name drop-down menu.
    • Select the protocol you want to configure from the Select protocol drop down menu. This can be TCP, UDP, ICMP, or GRE. If you select TCP or UDP you must also specify either a single port or range of ports that apply.
    3. Select one of the following:
    • Redirect selected protocol/service to this router Select this option if you want inbound traffic forwarded to the SpeedStream.
    • Redirect selected protocol/service to IP address Select this option if you want inbound traffic forwarded to a host located on the LAN. In this case, you must specify the IP address of the host on which the server resides.
    4. Click Apply.

    This was from the user manual
