Telnet port open, want it closed.
Hi all
Question.
I am trying to make sure any outside access to my network is eliminated.
I did a port scan of my network behind my router and it shows that port 80 is open, of course I need that for internet. But it is also showing port 23 Telnet is open.
I used Advanced Port Scanner v1.3.
I then used it to scan my specific WAN ip and it shows both the same ports open,
23 and 80.
I have gone into Windows Services and made sure the Telnet service is disabled, but am worried with this open port, someone can gain access.
Is there something else I can do? Gonna try shutting off port 23 Telnet in Windows firewall. That's the only thing I can think of.
I am behind a Gigaset 567 Telus DSL router. I am running Windows 7 Pro on an ACER Aspire 6930 laptop.
