Yes ! 8333.  I've seen some communications on internet that AT&T doesn't allocate any static address to its customers.  Some businesses have to pay for it
For most ISPs, their modem definitely would have a firewall which blocks most of the ports. Can't you portforward the ports?[1]

The port you should be portforwarding is TCP/8333 and you have to find your own internal IP address. To do that, you have to go to System Preferences>Network and press the tab which you have connection to on your Mac. You should see your internal IP there.

Thank you very much for your attemp to help me..I've tried everything per your instructions and the link - the Xbox 360 setup NAT/ game created 4 ports and pass through still no prevail...

I did some research, apparently AT&T hide and close my ports base on the description below...it's late and I'm very tired.  I've tried for the last 3,4 days.  I hope somebody here could help me to finally open my bitcoin full node, it would be nice !  As I understand it, I may be able to purchase or rent for private IPs from AT&T .   I would hate to give them that satisfaction...

None of my ports work for bitcoin, they are all hidden via a private subnet, so literally the internet cannot see them. They use one of the few private IPs available, completely non-routable for other computers trying to connect directly ( https://www.arin.net/knowle... )

Alrighty then, enjoy your crickets.

Sorry I didn't mean it like that...I'm a little frustrated of At&t with this none sense.  I've read many comments about the same issue I'm facing with AT&T but so far I did not see any clear resolution- I'm sorry if I offended you 😃

As long as they're not blocking outgoing 8333 I'm pretty sure you can run a full node without incoming connections.

Well when I run a test I get the error the address cannot be reached.  I'm not asking for someone opinions - just the the solution  to get my full node running

Are you saying that your ISP is blocking certain inbound ports?

I've been trying to setup my Mac computer to run bitcoin core full node but I simply cannot get around the in-bound blocking by AT&T ISP...

I've done some research and it appears that many people whose use AT&T are facing the same issue.  The router is ARRIS NVG589.

I am trying to avoid contact AT&T because they have been useless in supporting.  Some suggest to use Tor or Torrent but I'm not quite sure how to go about to accomplish that task ?

Thank you in advance for you help !
