Best Answer

This depends on the OS in use. In Windows, you can open a port by entering its port number through the 'Add port' function of Windows Firewall.

Is a listening port the same as an open port?

Ports are somewhat like doors, traffic can flow either way though them but you can set them up so that it can only flow one way. A listening port is open and waiting for something to come in. It is possible to configure things so that a port can be used to receive traffic, but not send anything out through it. It is also possible to configure things so that a port is not listening but it is open for SENDING out information. Usually when we speak of an "open port" it is open for traffic both ways.
