yeah, im behind a router so i guess the nat is fudging my results. can anybody here verify that comcast isnt causing the problem?? i dunno why i cant stealth scan myself or my friend cuz i tried it on some sites and it seemed to return valid results(i checked them with telnet).

<edit>
???? i just went and telnetted to myself on port 80, 1080, 119, etc. and it seems that i really am open on those ports. I also telnetted to my router's internal ip address 192.168.0.1, and it is open on those ports(i guess it really does scan the router). so, why does my router have these ports open? a port open means that connections can come in on that port, it doesnt have to have the port open for outbound, right? how is it that a router can have ports open, i thought it was only supposed to route packets
