PCLeak.com quick test & Comodo Firewall Fail

Hi, I have Comodo Firewall enabled, proactive mode, ports are set for stealth for everyone. When I take the PCflank quick test (http://pcflank.com/test.htm) I seem to fail:

Warning!
The test found visible port(s) on your system: 135, 137, 138, 139

Any ideas what might be wrong?

 

Are you behind a router? If you are, it will be router ports that are scanned and reported in the test.

 

Yes, I am behind a router! Thanks a lot for explaining.

 

Yeah, that would be the reason. If you want to test your software firewall, you will need to bypass the router.

Also, there might be some settings in your router configurations where you can prevent those ports from showing up as open. Look for "Do not reply to ping on WAN" or something similar.

 

No, that website got my open ports for my computer, not my router. If it were checking my router it would have seen nothing but stealthed ports I assume.

Instead it got 4 open ports associated with NetBIOS, which I'd forgotten to turn off.

 

Hungry Man, how did you turn off those ports?

 

Disabled NetBIOS in my ipv4 network properties. The other one I had to change with a registry key.

 

Alright... now I'm confused lol

I'm on Ubuntu... so for whatever reason those ports are open on my router I guess?

 

I think they are wrong, as those ports are not open on my comp to report, it as open. Try Grc Shields up (and any other similar) and that same port will report as closed

 

There's no way those ports should be open on Ubuntu... nothing else is showing them open.

 

Yeah seems to be an issue with PCLeaks, as all other services report these ports as closed.

 

Actually, try their advanced port scanner and scan for those ports. They will report as closed. So something is wrong their end

Showing those ports as closed.

I guess that's settled.

 

Yup, same here.

Thanks guys.

 

Confirm. I use CIS with the Firewall enabled in Blocking Mode, I have a fw router - setted - ( also ports 135-9 closed with Windows Worms Doors Cleaner ), but PCflank quick test gives them visible. GRC and t1shopper.com passed.
