Samba.. Do you share a connection with other computers in your household?

Does *htop* show it as running? Otherwise >> ps -aux

For Arno's >> iptables -L

LOTS rtn'd..

Now because of translation, it's better you ask your ISP if such a configuration page exists.

Nope

I tried with a different ISP over wlan with the same config
and now shieldsup showed a different set of ports as closed
,https and ssh, so for sure ISP

I am allright with it now, thanks for your help

This older thread seemed to be appropriate, sorry for digging it up.

One of the things I've encountered along the way is the combination of modem/router and ISP before the Firewallstate pup. A recent case occured for me when ShieldsUp discovered ports 0 and 1 closed rather than stealthed. Of course being two years since last tinkered, I forgot my access PSWD, and had to reset the M/R. So a correct setup reveals that my ISP wants my creds established again. In the meantime I notice that ALL ports arre closed except 21, 22, 23, 80, and 443 (stealthed). So my ISP is not a shall we say good neighbor, but does stealth the basic 5 used ports: the other 65530 are closed.

I don't expect too much from M/R manufacturers in terms of help, but I went to mine, and their webpages. Buried in there is the way to stealth "all" ports by using a DMZ and pointing to a particular address. I did this, and not "all" ports were stealthed. It seems 0 and 1 are closed, and the remainder are indeed stealthed according to grc_com. So just a note here that my M/R manufacturer forced me to go on-line with these 65530 ports "closed" to obtain the secret code to get all but two of them stealthed.

That brings me finally to firewallstate in puppy Slacko-5.7 nonpae, and my purpose... Does it stealth ports 1 and 0?
