adsl and firewalls
Hi.
Changed from ISDN to ADSL, and afterwords not possible to stealth all my ports (99 percent show closed, rest stealth). Have tried several firewalls, same results. I am connected via something they call NAT, has this someting to say ? With ISDN all ports were stealthed. Thanks for answers, John nospam@nospam.no |

When on ISDN I would imagine that your ISP provided the NAT that you needed which blocked ALL inbound. With DSL, just because it's NAT does not mean that they don't forward ALL inbound ports - NAT allows for that. Get yourself a hardware router (Linksys, DLink, etc...) from BestBuy, CompUSA, etc.. and install it. Once you do it will show stealth on all ports and you won't have to worry any more. -- -- (Remove 999 to reply to me) Leythos |
