Concerning SOHO routers and Port forwarding -- Is this cor... Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls () I was reading some posts over on the DSLReports forums. The discussion was about firmware and the Port 113 issues. You know stealth vs closed,...

Port 113 is closed. Archived from groups: comp.security.firewalls () Using a Linksys NAT router and Sygate Pro. I just did a test with Shields Up and all the tested ports came back "stealth" except for port 113, which came back closed. My impression...

I've never had it or seen it work when connecting LAN to WAN. Always LAN to LAN with that stuff. The WAN port on SOHO routers is the only port that really makes the devices a router. The other 4 ports is just a switch. So what you'll wanna do with...

your computer. Since you are behind a router you may need to open a couple of ports to your computer. Your router will be your firewall so you need to tell the router which ports you want open to each machine. One you open the right ports then you should...

you will be doing some missionary work. SAVE ME JEBUS!!!!!! Gotcha. Routers by default close all ports. Port forwarding will open that port and send that information to the IP of which ever computer. If you remove that entry in the router, the port will...

blocked. Can't speak to what you heard or read but if they actually said/wrote that you should block ports then well, they really should be ignored. I suppose there may be some SOHO routers that have ports open and you could close them but it's unlikely....

SOHO routers with 10/100 WAN ports?. Archived from groups: comp.dcom.lans.ethernet () I'm getting (a trial of) Verizon's FIOS fiber-to-the-home product in a couple of weeks, which comes with a special router (no idea what that means). While I can hook my...

a hardware router. thanks for | your time!! Installation of WinXP P2 automatically enables the WinXP FireWall. Linksys is just fine. For added security I always suggest blocking both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Routers. A Router...

I still don't understand because router with built-in switch has 4 >ports also, how does it function as the combination of router and > switch together? > in essence, its switch has 5 ports -- the fifth one hooks (internally) to the router -- but they...

that implements PPPoE is 1492. It would not hurt if it was less but it is better to dump AOL than to set the MTU less than 1492. As always, I suggest blocking both TCP and UDP Ports 135 ~ 139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router. -- Dave Archived from...
