first of all its not ipconfig..... its winipcfg and i know what loopback is.... i did a portscan on myself... on my real ip address 172.169.***.*** but i put in my loop back because i do not like to...

i am running an ftp server i know i am,, i just used the loopback because i really dont like giving out my ip :p

now that i look closer i see more opoen ports... some with no deamon on them.. i can see this is a security risk..but how can i 'close' the ports?

i can understand why the telnet deamon is questionable... but what other deamons can run on a windows system?....
right now my windowze is running 2 deamons.. one on port 21(ftp) and one on port 80...

is it possible to set up multiple deamons on a windows system?
say telnet, finger, SMTP, AND P0P3

thats true... windows and *nix are better known.. so they would try for the most common ones

Well in that case.... Which is the best firewall.... I know that ZoneAlarm is a favorite...... But are there any other good firewalls

linux..... i would expect OpenBsd or BSD to be the most secure...... becus *nix gets hacked almost everyd ay.... but u barely hear about BSD being hacked.. or is it just underpublicized?

thats true..... which in your opinion would you say to be the most secure version of windowze...... i know ME and x are out...... but of the remainig versions.... which is the best for a web server
