Other than that your network is secure then?
One of the advantages of having your firewall running on the router
intead of your computer is that your desktop software can not open a
port, you have to do it manually (for those who did not know).

It's been a while since I ran one of their port scans. Here are my
results from today:
"Your Results for this scan
Conclusion: Healthy Setup! We could detect no interesting responses
from any of the commonly probed TCP and UDP ports. It would be
difficult for an attacker to know where to start without further
information.
TCP ALL FILTERED No response packet was received.
UDP ALL FILTERED No response packet was received.

Key:
OPEN PORT a port, or ports, appear to offer a possibly vulnerable
service
All services should be closed unless you require them to be open
CLOSED PORT a port, or ports, are responding that they are closed
A software or hardware firewall can eliminate all responses and
'stealth' your IP completely, if you so desire.
FILTERED PORT the port is silent in response to open-port requests
No response to probes were detected."
I'm running a Netgear wireless router that's about as locked down as I
can get it. My workstation is connected via a CAT5e cable.
Christie's machine is wireless. WEP is enable, 128 bit encryption,
the SSID is not the default name and we don't broadcast it. All of
our computers, as well as any shared devices, require a password to
log on. The winders machines run AVG anti-virus,
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1, and the Slackware box has no servers
running that I don't normally require.
HTH anyone who may be interested.

The test you are interested in is "Port Scan" down toward the bottom of
