Maybe, and at first I did tell him to check with his ISP if he is
going through a proxy server but he isn't. Even if it is a proxy in
the router it should still show as closed. When I run a port scan in a
web browser through my router it still shows port 80 as closed and
that's using three different port scan sites. He has a remote
management console in his router and I read that sometimes port 8080
is used for remote management. But he has that disabled. He wants
Port 8080 blocked as it is on my router (not closed but blocked
ie,stealth) so I think he is going to dump the Pine and get a D-Link
or Lynksys. There is no way it should show as open if it had a decent
firewall built in. He's still protected well as he uses Sygate PF on
his PC too but it's just the little details that get to ya in the
end, eh?. After making the post here I was doing a port scan at
grc.com and he has some info on routers and actually said some routers
don't have very good firewalls and leave a port or two open when they
shouldn't. I will tell him what you said though.Thx.
