I have an app which needs to receive a message back from the server. With the firewall on, I do not get the message back. If I turn off the firewall I get the request back.
I have added some rules and I have opened port 7 in the firewall but the problem is still there.

I updated your question to make it clearer, rollback if you don't like it.

What kind of server/firewall is this? – Pretzel – 2013-07-30T13:11:48.267
The server is my own laptop and the firewall is Windows 7 default firewall. The thing is that the devices can reach the server if the firewall is disabled, but I turn it on, the devices cannot reach it. – Katherine99 – 2013-08-01T08:03:46.533
So, your laptop is acting like a server with Windows 7. And you're attempting to connect to it from another W7 machine? In that case, make sure you open your port for domain, public and private profiles. – Dave – 2013-08-02T10:37:32.047
I am attempting to connect to it from a mobile device but the thing is that I opened the port 7 for both profiles. – Katherine99 – 2013-08-05T07:51:47.087
