are you going through a router?

could a different service be using that port?

plus: did you open the ports on the firewall?

We can't do nothing but guessing the reason, because you only told us the others don't seem to work. The log file (usually ircd.log) can tell you whether the port could be opened or not. If you don't find anything in it related to the problem, then the ports might be opened successfully, but your firewall doesn't allow you to access them.
