This site will check to see if your "fire-wall(s) "are in Open, Closed, or Stealth (Stealth being the best !!)

By the way ....using Zone Alarm I was in Stealth Mode

Passed! That link can come in handy.

Remember, for all intents and purposes, a closed port is just as good as a stealth port. So, don't fret if you're not stealth.

If you're open, though; consider buying a cheap hardware router. It'll stealth you AND handle NAT for you, too.

Hey derfy,

Welcome!

Good info too! I keep forgetting to get me a router!

113? Do you have a NAT router? If so, forward it to some unused ip address on your subnet. That'll fix it.
