I guess I'm OK. File sharing tests:

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.

Testing the ports shows this for every port:

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

Yep, I do this fairly regularly - all good.

Looks OK

This is one of those utilities that I check now and again. So far, each time I have checked it has declared that I am completely stealthed, so I am quite pleased.

I got those same results, so I guess I'm OK.

Full stealth just like all the other times

But I think you'd have to put your computer into the router's DMZ to get an accurate scan, else wise it just gets blocked by the router (yay.)

Never heard of this before, but got good reports:

I'm okay, altho' my husband questions it

I question it too because at times I've changed my security settings just to see what the results will be, and it seems the results come back the same.

I've found a couple other sites, but they mostly test the browser. I'd like to find another site or two like this just to see if the results correspond to Shields Up.

 

[Ciara]

I turned my Firewall off and got the same results ? :shock:

Yes it's normal if you are behind the hardware router.
Enable your firewall and then connect Internet cable directly from your modem to Network interface controller in your computer.
Right now you are probably connected this way:

So hardware router is the first line firewall in this scenario and also this is why you have tests passed even with your software firewall disabled.

I see ... Thanks

You have to do all his test try the Leak test and see if your penetrated and the all posts test. Been using his site since windows 98 or Xp not sure which one we were using when first came across the web site.

Have a look here:
Verizon | FiOS Internet - Opening the DMZ on your Verizon or Actiontec MI424WR router

What is DMZ:
Verizon | FiOS Internet - DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
