Are you using two routers? Are you enabling port forward in both, and are you using correct IP addresses? Are you using a static IP address on your PC?

Is this port for a program or service? If it is for a program, is this program running when you test? Port scanners will only report the port "open" if the server program on your PC is actually running, otherwise there will be no port to be seen.
