[TriLUG] open ports on Uverse 2wire gateway -- revisited

[James Jones]

All,

Could anyone on trilug that uses UVERSE for their internet provider,
do the following for me:

Go to GRC.com's Shields up and use the user specified port probe with
the following ports listed in the dialog box:

3479, 49152, 61001

and let me know the results. I have scanned two RG boxes ( with
permission ) and also used shields up as well. both gave me the same
results.

I also scanned a bellsouth.net dsl connection ( again with permission
) and the ports on their modem ( not a uverse type gateway ) same
ports above were closed.

I wished to determine if all are the same as my results.

Thanks for any help.
