Windows port will not open in google compute engine

Question

I've added a firewall rule in GCE udp:5585;tcp:5585 in my networking config.

I've also added an inbound rule in Windows to accept both udp and tcp connections on port 5585. I'm trying to set this up for Chef. However, when trying to telnet,

I get a connection refused error. I run netstat -a in powershell on the remote VM and I don't see the port.

I'm out of options. What could possibly be the problem ?

If netstat doesn't show that port in the listening state then nothing is listening on that port. You need to investigate why that is. — joeqwerty, May 08 '17 at 18:02
@joeqwerty fair enough. WinRM quickconfig command in powershell fixed it. — ryan, May 08 '17 at 18:05

Nothing was listening on 5585. Running WinRM quickconfig fixed the issue when pasting into powershell. This added some special firewall rule and began listening on that port and fixed my chef problem.
