    yes ... I have firewall rules management ON.  I also have many rules.  So... to what rules specifically are you referring?

    this did not help, I'm trying to open port 53 and have made the edit in the rules but port 53 remains closed, I'm also trying to open ports 8000-8447 and those remain closed. 
    I've talked with the data center and the tell me they've not closed or blocked those ports and when I ssh into the server the ports show open but all test say they are closed
