Data problem opening TCP ports

Please can somebody help me. I'm trying to open ports 999, 1982 and 1983 but am not having much luck. I used
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 999 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 1982 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --sport 1983 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
to open the ports but haven't been successful. I was told to make sure that your server TCP ports: 999, 1982, 1983 are fully open inbound and outbound and that destination IP address for those ports is 72.232.181.106.
I've been trying for ages to get these ports open, but haven't had any luck.
This is the first time I've ever used a dedicated server and I am very new to all of this so I in advance for lack of knowledgeSmilie

Thanks
