Scanning of ports in network zoraya 05-17-2006

I use a computer inside a network, I use an online scanner like "Shields
Up" to find
out what ports are open and which ones are closed.

The scan indicates that some ports are closed like 119 or 465, but then I
am able to use
those ports as usual, is it because the firewall in my network is doing a
good job and
indicating the ports as closed or is the online scanner just not good
enough to detect
all the open ports?

Be aware that ShieldsUp will check Your networks connection to the
internet (a firewall and/or router), not Your PC.

Where? From the outside world or within Your network?

Well, what exactly? "Like ShiledUp" or some serious, reliable port scanner?

Why "but"? Maybe you misunderstood the concepts of ports and TCP
connection states. Reread RFC 793.

nmap is a real one.

For online, there's one at dslreports.com in the tool section.
