Ok I am stumped. I used port forwarding on my Netgear rp614 router.
But when I try to verify the port through GRC sight it tells me it is
stealth. I know that the problem is not the router since I tried it on
another computer and it works fine, port is opened. Both systems have
winxp sp2, they both have the same virus checker and both have windows
firewall turned off. So why am I getting stealth mode on one computer
and opened port on another with same router. I need these ports opened
in order to use VNC.
Thanks in advance
