[TriLUG] open ports on Uverse 2wire gateway

[James Jones]

A customer of mine has Uverse as their ISP. They also subscribe to security
metrics. A quarterly scan by security metrics says he has 3 open ports (
3479, 49152, 50001 & 61001 ). The Uverse Gateway, a combined modem & router
says no open ports. Even a chat with Uverse tech support, says the gateway
indicates no open ports.

BUT an external nmap scan of tcp ports 3000-62000 says:
Host is up (0.047s latency).
Not shown: 58997 filtered ports
PORT      STATE SERVICE
3479/tcp  open  unknown
49152/tcp open  unknown
50001/tcp open  unknown
61001/tcp open  unknown


This is with the windows xp professional Desktop powered down. I even reset
the Gateway to factory defaults and the scan stays the same.

How can I close these ports??
