    Carolyn,

    Are you testing from an XP box with ICF on?

    That would explain it.

    Wow! I have received back alot of great advice and information. At this
    point, I am going to use a sniffer, and also try netcat, and see what the
    results are.

    Nmap was configured with just the default options (one question that was
    asked of me).

    Sorry I didn't give any specs on the system... The operating system is
    actually XP Embedded; the firewall that is being used on the system is the
    Internet Connection Firewall. I cannot add software to the system - mainly
    because how it is built for the OS. However, I can turn off the firewall,
    and plan on testing a theory to see if the firewall might be the source of
    the behavior. FTP is definately not running on that system - so it is very
    curious.

    Guaranteed, I will let you know the results of my testing.

    Thank you,
    Carolyn.
