When I had dial-up in the past, and checked my PC on the GRC website, it always came back as "Stealth" (Zonealarm, set for stealth). The settings in ZA hasn't changed, but at GRC my test comes back as Closed - has Jetstream somehow got something to do with it? How do one fix it?

374450 2005-07-22 22:22:00 D-Link DSL 302-G. On the GRC test, I did a full port scan (all the ports) and the test came up failed, because the ports were Closed in stead of Stealth. ZA is set for Stealth, tho

374451 2005-07-22 22:25:00 Yup, the router would be coming up closed.

Its not _too_ much of a concern, they are closed, and your routers NAT will be stopping anything from getting thru. It just means that rather than dropping unwanted packets so people dont know your PC is even there, it'll come up as closed ports.
