when i did a portscan on my dsl modem interface with the advanced port scanner i got from www.radmin.com, i only found that port 21 25 and 110 is open out of all 65535 ports, which is very weird. weird because: - i am not running any sort of servers in my pc except for apache(port:80) and mysql(port:3306). these are not showing. - and what about other softwares i am running? like MSN messenger and emule? the port scan is not even showing that! and interestingly, when i do "netstat -no" or "netstat -na" these ports(21, 25 and 110) don't seem to be open.... any idea about what might be going on? thanks in adavance!

might be listening on the ports?? 31337

is that a typo? Do a netstat -an see what you got... GOOGLE the port numbers to find out what they are. Go to SHEILDS Up.. to test your ports... https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 This link will help you to dicipher each on a little faster.. its a ports list.. http://www.iss.net/security_center/advice/Exploits/Ports/default.htm A computer is a perfectionist's nightmare.
