Hey Jeroen
I'm not trying to hack anyone. Just setting up some p2p software.
Unfortunately my own providers haven't been able to tell me which ports they
left open, so I thought that perhaps I could help myself C: After all I pay
for a 512/256 kb/sec line, then .6 kb down just won't suffice.

Med venlig hilsen / Yours sincerely

I do not know such programs, but you should be careful when using them.
When port scans show up in a log file (FREX, a firewall's log file), it is
usually a sign that someone has been trying to break into the computer. It
is often possible to trace those scans back to the computer where they came
from; if it would be traced back to you and someone would report it to your
ISP, chances are that your account with that ISP will be cancelled
(depending on how much your ISP cares what its customers do on the
Internet).

At one time, a few hundred (!) port scans from the same source appeared in
my firewall's log file. I found out through which ISP those attempts were
made and filed a complaint with the ISP (complete with the relevant part of
the log file, which also included the IP address of the source computer).
About a week later, the ISP thanked me for my complaint and informed me
that they had traced the hacker and had closed his account.

If you are going to this, better remember that phrase that Sgt. Esterhaus
always used at the end of roll call: "And hey, hey, hey! Let's be careful
out there!"

(Two points for the first one who can tell me which TV show that was.)
