And that was the culprit. Who would have thought that such a minor
change to a config file could wreak such havoc?? :)
Trust me - it happens ALL the time! ;-)
Interestingly, the Vista firewall doesn't seem to have the ability to
reject ports that are blocked. You can open them, but you can't define
the behavior (reject or drop) for a blocked port. I think I'll do
some more research on that.
I don't use vista - I got rid of windoze before microsoft invented the
Internet - but this may not be that unusual. The default means of
blocking stuff in Linux 'iptables' is also to DROP rather than REJECT,
although there is the _capability_ in iptables to "--reject-with"
option. Still, in both operating systems, without a specific block
rule on a port, the networking code itself should provide the REJECT
if there is no server/application listening on that port.
Moe, thanks very much for your help. And the education, which I also
appreciated.
My pleasure!
Old guy
