How to stealth my FVG318

[5over12]

Hi Guys,

I am busy configuring my second time exchanged FVG318.

I was checking on how the firewall acting on a a probe port. Seems that most of my ports are closed, but not stealth. How can I make this router stealth without loosing functionallities?

My other routers had a possibillity to drop or ignore port requests..

here I seem not to get it working.

Any ideas how I can make this router stealth?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Rgrds,

I did use shields up... and apparently most ports are just closed and not stealth..

I have FVG318 for beta test but I don't have at this moment so not sure if I get same results. all other such as FVX538, FVS318 has been all stealth

The routers ports should be stealth by default. If you have added firewall rules, regardless of what is behind the FVG318 the port will show as closed.

0 Ports Open
18 Ports Closed
8 Ports Stealth
---------------------
26 Ports Tested

NO PORTS were found to be OPEN.

Ports found to be STEALTH were: 0, 21, 25, 80, 135, 139, 143,
445

Other than what is listed above, all ports are CLOSED.

TruStealth: FAILED - NOT all tested ports were STEALTH,
- NO unsolicited packets were received,
- A PING REPLY (ICMP Echo) WAS RECEIVED.

this is what the result is....

Strangely enough some ports are in use others not...
(for example FTP and IMAP and SMTP are in use. Just like port 80)

when you tell me that when using rules all should be closed instead of stealth.. how can it be that some are still stealth and other not?

Oh god...

just found out what the problem was....

I Had DMZ open for a media player... seems the dmz pings back which makes the whole firewall not stealth anymore...


Wise lesson for myself...
(I guess I have to make rules for the ports in use to my kiss-player)
Anybody knows which ports should be at least open to let the kiss player function normal?)

grtz,
