Oh, come on! Which model? Firmware revision? Have you checked its
configuration? Is it running any services? If so: which? And why? Are
any port-forwardings configured? If so: whereto? And why?

Be verbose. As Wolfgang already said: it's really tiresome to have to
wrest every single bit of information from you.

The router is:
Linksys Cable/DSL Router 4port switch
model# BEFSR41 V3
Firmware V 1.05.00

Seems to be the latest Firmware. Good.

Std out of the box settings.

*sigh*

Look, "out of the box" can mean just about anything. Why don't you go
and find out what the actual settings are and then answer my questions?
Would that make things too easy for us?

BTW: Have you cross-checked the results from grc.com with another port
scanner (like the one I mentioned previously)? Does the router allow for
configuration via UPnP?

This is the router that was on my win2K system until last week when i
replaced it with a new Win XP Cpu unit. THis was secure until the new
XP cpu.

XP is an operating system, not a CPU.
