Port scan shows it open on his router but not mine - two different
routers is why. It should show as blocked according to *every* port
scan site we've been to. Only IDENT 113 should show as Closed and
maybe HTTP 80 as Closed also, no ports should show as Open. When he
disconnects the router and uses just the cable modem along with Sygate
firewall on his computer it shows all tested ports blocked.
I'll send him what you posted though and he can test it himself. But
we don't even allow Telnet services to run on our computers so I doubt
he will. I think he is just going to buy a better router at this
point. Thx anyway.
