Problem is, he's got to figure out how to made it work.

There is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER that a port (or even any computer) exists at this IP address

Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist! ( whatever that means)

Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED.

so.....that's good, right?

 

[PostCode]

In theory....yes

 

[leslie]

but in practise?

 

[PostCode]

Yes, your fine. You behind a router firewall?

 

[leslie]

no, just the Norton one, seems ok...

 

[PostCode]

Software then...not as secure as a real hardware firewall. Like I tell my customers....be afraid.

Everything is stealth except Port 80, which is my webserver.

 

[Gonzo]

that site is far from fail-proof, but it's still a nice check to do

Stealth is good

Attempting connection to your computer. . .
Shields UP! is now attempting to contact the Hidden Internet Server within your PC. It is likely that no one has told you that your own personal computer may now be functioning as an Internet Server with neither your knowledge nor your permission. And that it may be serving up all or many of your personal files for reading, writing, modification and even deletion by anyone, anywhere, on the Internet!
Your Internet port 139 does not appear to exist!
One or more ports on this system are operating in FULL STEALTH MODE! Standard Internet behavior requires port connection attempts to be answered with a success or refusal response. Therefore, only an attempt to connect to a nonexistent computer results in no response of either kind. But YOUR computer has DELIBERATELY CHOSEN NOT TO RESPOND (that's very cool!) which represents advanced computer and port stealthing capabilities. A machine configured in this fashion is well hardened to Internet NetBIOS attack and intrusion.
Unable to connect with NetBIOS to your computer.
All attempts to get any information from your computer have FAILED. (This is very uncommon for a Windows networking-based PC.) Relative to vulnerabilities from Windows networking, this computer appears to be VERY SECURE since it is NOT exposing ANY of its internal NetBIOS networking protocol over the Internet.

everything stealth cept port 21 cause of my ftp server, router and software firewall.
