[Dement]

How do I shut port 1025 and 1026. No matter wht I do I cant stop them from listening. I have my router configured correctly to block all ports. running a Linksys and win2000

ZoneAlarm for you is an extra line of defence and once you use it you will definately see the benefit for having it.
Over 8 million downloads should tell you something.
It's a bit like having two AV programs. It adds to your security and the space it takes is small.
Bottom line.... What price your system? Your decision.

aaah my dear fellows but that is the problem with many people

use this ground rule: never think you're safe!

so use every means to secure your computer, because you have to remember that everything made by humans can be cracked or broken down by humans (okay almost everything, nuclear waste was a little mistake :D)

you can never be safe enough

Ok I will word it different. What do ports 1025 and 1026 do/run? I have heard it reffered to as a blackjack port?

Dement I have posted this same question on a few boards without a good answer. People can tell you what the ports are for ie. Network Blackjack, but I don't run any Blackjack programs at all. Those ports must be for some service in Win2K but I have been unable to find out which ones. I dualboot Win98 & Win2K and in my 98 setup those ports are not open, just open in Win2K. If you do find an answer please let me know also. Thanks

Sure no problem. Thanks for the advice.
