Hello all
I have done a shields up port scan on my computer and port 68 (bootstrap protocol client) is showing closed not stealthed, is this something to do with my new netgear router i am using to connect to my sons ps3 downstairs?
thanks

If its closed, then nothing can get in anyways.
Whats the actual problem?
And yes, quite likely to be the router (OR your software firewall):idea:0 -
I dont think it is a problem,
its just that before i installed the router all ports were stealthed.
am just being curious(paranoid).
thanks for the reply.0 -
You're using a router running NAT so it's reporting what it detects open on the router, not the computer so it makes no difference.0
