What I would like to know is can you close open ports within windows xp and that "dodgy" applications may have opened? Better yet does anyone know of any Active Directory settings that could help in this situation. Share Flag. All Comments. Collapse -. Back to Networks Forum. Start or search. Start New Discussion.

WWDC can close all of them completely. For one of the ports, I believe, it will prompt you with a yes no cancel dialog. When you select No it closes it completely. And Hazelnut is correct about a firewall protecting against those known vulnerable ports, even Windows Firewall is good for it as long as there aren't allot of unnecessary program exceptions in Windows Firewall. But my point is that as far as a test like ShieldsUp is concerned, they should show as stealthed, not closed.
Stealthed means no response - not even recognition that a PC is there. Closed means, okay it's closed - but I know there's a computer there. The stealthing bit is where the firewall comes in. For anyone wanting to read about the differences between open, colsed and stealthed It's an old site so beware of some out of date software recommendations, but the principles stand. Perhaps a timely mention might be made here of using shields up when having a router.
Often the site is just testing the router. That was a good article. I kept failing the ShieldsUp TruStealth because my modem firewall was off which is the default factory setting, turning it on allowed for TruStealth.
I suspect the results I was getting were exactly as that article suggests since I was probably actually stealthed anyway with Windows Firewall active.

You're welcome. Might I ask out of interrest. Are you going to keep norton or are you going to switch over to other products? Once my subscription is up, I think I will research free anti-virus programs. I've heard a lot about AVG, that is the first one I would try.
Sounds good to me Just keep in mind that norton is a bit rough to un-install. Once the time comes your subscription runs out I suggest you check out this link.

Linux OS Most Linux distributions include the netstat command, however, the switches are different than the one included in Windows. Proceed as follows: On the scanned server, open a terminal session. Run the command: netstat -tulpn. The last column shows the process id of the process for the specific network connection.
If this information is not being displayed, it is most likely because the user you are using does not have sufficient privileges. You may need to use sudo to get access to this information. You will probably want to filter this down using the grep command.
For example, if you only want to list the network connections on port , use: netstat -tulpn grep "" The screenshot below shows the information for the examples used.
