You shouldn't have to worry about "pings" or "port scans" unless you
have a bunch of ports hanging open that you shouldn't.


Or if you switch off your firewall, to see what happens.
Windows is not a secure system, and software or malware can soon open ports
or send messages to other systems so that they may connect.

By default, Windows installs protocols that are unlikely to be needed by
most users. All my system has in the "Networks" is the dial-up adaptor and
the TCP/IP protocol.




What you see in your networks doesn't show what ports you have open.
Find a copy of nmap, or go to tucows and look for a port scanner. You
might be shocked how many ports you have open. By the way, port
scanning isn't illegal, unless you try to use what you find out.

You dog molesting piece of ****, that aint N8. ****en dummies are easy

Now, get back tos eating jizz, cranus. Your mom needs her vagisil, and

Poor double-speaking DogGay. First he threatens those who "ping" him
(and accuses me of doing so without any evidence), then he invites
pings. Obviously he doesn't have a clue, but we already knew that.

"we" means your judgement. We are not your judge, we are your
judgement. You are made to suffer as punishment for being a faggot
keyclown.

"soon" is as soon as you suck enough dicks to buy a bus ticket.

I hope you don't expect a serious answer. You'll never get one from
the Anti-sissies.

Have you ever tried the on-line scanner on the "Shields Up" site?
It runs through a series of ports to see if it gets a response. It will
then give a report, stating if ports were open, closed (giving a "closed"
response), or in "stealth" mode (giving no reply). They also have a test
program download, to see if your firewall would allow outgoing connections.
A firewall should block both, and let you know (if you have warnings
enabled).

There is also a program called "Net Peeker", which can display and log all
data transfer with IP numbers, ports used and which software is being used
for that connection.

Some ports have to be open, to allow the data you are requesting or sending.
If all ports were kept closed, you wouldn't get anything from the Internet.

My firewall will block any software trying to make a connection, unless I
have told it to allow that software. It certainly blocks and warns about
plenty of attempts from other computers on the Internet. The largest amount
of attempts is when I connect through my usual ISP... the attempts just keep
coming, from the same place.
I also see from my log that attempts from my ISP have been blocked. I am
not sure why they are trying to access certain ports on my computer, but
blocking them has no ill effect.

Any idea why my ISP should be making my firewall complain?

Peter.

If you're in "stealth" mode, your ISP will ping you repeatedly to see
if there's really someone online at that port, but your firewall won't
give them any information.

Oh yes it is, DouGau, although you're posting from work at Sylvania
this time. Sorry, liar, but the DNS doesn't lie. And you have been
reported.

I fail to see the point in that.
Because of firewalls, they cannot rely on a failure to respond meaning that
nobody is there. Surely, the data flow should tell them that someone is
there, and using the connection.
The only real point I can see is to see if your system is open, as they must
already know that you are there.

By default windows has quite a few ports open that aren't dependant on
the protocols that are installed. Installing applications can open
more ports up. Adding a controller for lighting control using your
computer opens port 5000 (upnp) which is bad idea to leave hanging
open to the outside world.

Port 80 and 443 are used for your Web browser, but they won't be open
to the outside unless you have a web server running.

Which ports are they looking at? How do you know its from your ISP
and not another member of your isp?
