When I run a port probe on port 5060 it shows as closed. I have all firewalls turned off.

See if this helps.

port 5060 closed

If you do the portscan on localhost, then the firewall has no effect. It is working for outside connections only.

And, if you have opened port 5060 in the firewall, but there is no application running on that port, then your portscanner will say that this port is closed (because that port isn't in use).
