Of course another silly little question from Newbie-boy...How do i close port 23, which i would assume would prevent the run command (telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl) from working?

Thanks

What OS are you running? I believe the easiest way is with software/hardware based firewall (I prefer hardware based if you can because then you don't have to worry about holes in the OS itself). Check out this thread for more info:

Good luck and I hope this helps...

I'm running XP PRO vs. 5.01.2600. I have a Linksys bf...41 4 port gateway - switch with the latest flash.

Outside of using hardware firewalls can i manually open/close ports within my system?

Hi XPatriot, one thing that you can do is to stop the "Telnet" service. If you set it to "Disabled" then it will not start when you Reboot your system....

Disable Telnet? I've looked everywhere for the disable...web,ms knowledgebase etc.

I get the feeling that closing and opening Ports is rather difficult to accomplish...

Hi XPatriot, Sorry I forgot to mention where to look for this stuff. Go to Control Panel/Admin Tools/Services and look for TelNet in the list. Click on TelNet and it will open a Panel where you can Stop it and Set it to "Disabled".

Thanks Crowdirt...


Just found a neat way to see what ports are open...

goto run and type "netstat -a"

Hi XPatriot, and if you use netstat -an it will show IP#s instead of DNS names, if you need the numbers.....

On your OS, don't run any Telnet service and close port 23 on Linksys. To be 100% safe, you can open and forward port 23 to a dummy IP address on Linksys.
