ahh ... scanning yourself from the same box is *almost* irrelevant!  You
need to do it from another box, preferably outside firewalls, ISP's etc
to actually see what is exposed to the world, rather just *open* to
itself.  Whist free scans from grc.com and the like are windows biased,
they can at least confirm what your machine looks like to an outside
scanner as a confidence check.
