Can't seem to open ports with Windows 8 guest

I opened port 1723 in windows firewall with advanced security with my Win 8 guest and forwarded that port to the Win 8 box in my router.
Win 8 box is Pro with a static IP at 192.168.1.208 255.255.255 192.168.1.1 and the network is bridged

When I test the port with canyouseme.org it can't find.

The exact same configuration on a Win 7 guest works just fine.

The Host is Win 7 pro

Any thoughts?

If you bridged, then you want to forward the port to the guest, not the host.

It is forwarded to the guest

Can you connect to the guest on that port from the host? and from another machine in your LAN?
