    When I type netstat -ant I get the following:

    Active Internet connections (servers and established)
    Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign A
    ddress State
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:32768 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:851 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:631 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
    ...

    How do I check that the firewall is not blocking port 631?
