If you used Netstat for your own machine, then you will have port6000 open,

as I understand it, localhost needs 6000 for X to function properly, close
it on you firewall as no other
IP's other then localhost need it unless you have an unusual setup.....

Hi
I did a netstat and noticed that my machine is listening on port 6000. I
think this is something to do with the Xserver, and it probably isn't
necessary for it to be listening on a single user machine.

Any idea how to turn this service off?
