| 211668 | 2004-01-31 00:08:00 | I just did a 'Common Ports' test on grc.com and found that my ports 21 & 80 were open. How do I close them? I use XP Pro, NIS 2003 Pro. I also have Apache installed for local site testing. |

| 211671 | 2004-01-31 23:00:00 | Turning on the XP firewall did not help. I am using NIS and even when I create a rule in that to block ports 21 & 80 it doesn't work. How can I tell apache to only run on local network card? I don't even have a network card (well I have a firewire card). I am using an ADSL router to access the internet. |

| 211673 | 2004-02-01 12:00:00 | Hmm, I suspect you are right. I have done a clean install of my OS and still the ports are open. Now, how do I configure my ADSL modem? |

| 211674 | 2004-02-01 12:40:00 | Ahh done it! In my routers config I disabled FTP server and restricted http access to LAN. I'm stealth on all ports now! Thanks! |

| 211675 | 2004-02-01 19:29:00 | I had the same problem on port 1024 - how do I close that/find out what had it open? Tony |

| 211676 | 2004-02-01 22:30:00 | Hmmm, that's strange. When I made those changes to my router and rebooted it - it was stealth,.. but if I repeat the ports probe straight away,.. it fails on port 80 again??? (plus most of the others aren't stealth anymore - just closed.) Tony - What firewall do you use? |

| 211677 | 2004-02-01 22:44:00 | I use ZoneAlarm Pro - which is what makes it all a bit strange, because if I set the internet zone to high security, it should block everything. | tbacon_nz (865) | ||
