Hi

Visit this page, and do the shieldsup test.

Select 'All service ports' to see if there are open ports or ports that are closed but visible.

- NO unsolicited packets were received,

- A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED

So now what i do?

Hi Nathaniel,

Shields-Up is actually testing your router firewall, not your software firewall. What make and model of router do you use?

You will be able to close ports there, and stop the ping replys too.
