open a port

I am trying to open up the firewall to pass through port 20 to any machine. I' ve added a policy to wan1->internal source and destination are set to all i' ve created a custom service and put in the following settings TCP source port: 1-65535 destination: 20 for high and low i apply and run a port scan on the unit but it is not seeing port 20 as open. i can see where smtp, http, etc are open so i' m not sure if i have the settings wrong. thanks.

You cannot do that, only because the firewall needs to know exactly which unit on the inside will be responding on that port. You need to create a virtual IP mapping. If it' s multicast traffic you' re talking about, that' s a whole different can of worms.
