Hi all,

I need some help... Firewall tests show that my ports 53 and 80 are open, no matter which firewall I use (I tried 3 of them). I connect to the net thru a router. Now someone told me maybe it is not my computer that has ports open, it can be the proxy of my ISP. can it be true?

Also, a firewall test on sygate.com told me I have a GoAhead webserver installed, I don't know what it is, I didn't install any server on my comp. What is this?

thanks in advance.

port 80 is supposed to be open

no, port 80 is not to be open

what router are you using and do you have any ports open or do you have remote administartion enabled on the router

hi,
thanx for the answers. The router is a Planet Broadband XRT401D. I don't have remote administration.

If the tests are correct (the ones at http://www.grc.com and http://www.dslreports.com are) then you have a defective router. If you have 50 to 70 dollars, you can goto bestbuy/circuit city/walmart and buy a linksyst router which is probably much better than the one you have now since linksys was just bought by Cisco, the best networking company.

thanx
and what about this goahead server? is it something someone installed on my computer without my knowledge?

maybe, don't know
