Re: testing ports through network

This isn't a host I am scanning though. What address do I enter to be
scanned?

I am trying to find out which ports can leave my network, out to the
Internet. Example, which programs my users can use to connect outbound.
Would a port scanner still do the job?

If this was a host I was checking I would most definately be using a port
scanner, but I am not sure what I am dealing with as it could be a router,
proxy or some kind of firewall which I don't know the address. I just need
to know which ports my users have open to them.
