Having read all the posts in this thread I have one question which doesn't
seem to have been asked. How do you setup your router to NOT stealth ports
but instead have them only closed?

I have a DLink DI-707p and without any other software firewall running on
the PC all ports except 113 are still showing as stealthed according the the
grc.com port probe. The only non-default change I've made to the router
config is to put a dummy address in the DMZ.
