"Closed" port allowing connections

I installed Transmission to get distro .iso's even though I'm typically wary of P2P programs. One reason is the interesting behavior that I'm seeing when Transmission is open. I'm using the iptables.basic rules that come with the package. An nmap scan from another computer in my wireless network shows that the connection port is closed but when I scan my IP address (not localhost) from my computer, it says that the torrent client port is the only one that is open which is consistent with the fact that it is also accepting connections (even without any port forwarding enabled on the router or my machine). I would like to at least have a choice whether or not I allow connections to my machine but the only option seems to be not using Transmission at all. Is this the case? If not, why is the port closed according to external tests yet it is accepting connections?

upnp is the only thing I can come up with.

Closed port for torrent with no iptables.rules

I have a home system with internet connection over a router. Firewall in the router seems to be disabled. I had installed guarddog and selected all the protocols that I need. There is no iptables in deamons line of rc.conf nor there is any iptables.rules files. There are 2 files in /etc/iptables, empty.rules and simple_firewall.rules. So, I wonder if any firewall is working at all in my system since guarddog is a frontend to iptables (i guess) and also is there any need for firewall since almost all the ports are closed.
Secondly, the main issue. I was using ktorrent and it was working fine until a few days ago. Now, bittorrent is not working. its not connecting at all. I tried deluge from community repo and tested the ports with http://www.deluge-torrent.org/test-port.php?port=6881 and it gave me this result:
TCP port 6881 closed on 121.247.200.189
UDP port 6881 open on 121.247.200.189
121.247.200.189 seems to be the ip of my isp as I got a dynamic one.
I am able to reach surf net but not able to download using bitorrent, however, both is possible in windows.
Taking clue from forum, i did nmap.

windows and u r very much right that it uses UPnP. In deluge (bt client on arch), UPnP was there but disabled (shaded). Hence, I tried running utorrent using wine and it gave a error message "Unable to map UPnP port' and is not able to connect. So, UPnP is not working in my box.
suggested "iptables -L" and it gave me the following results.

is not disabled and that firewall rules are setup by guarddog.
using "pacman -Rns guarddog" and rebooted. Still get the same results with utorrent and "iptables -L" and also the port test shows tcp 6881 is still closed.
now bt clients seems to be able to connect and it works; however, port test still shows tcp 6881 closed.

I have had IPhones since their inception. Last phone was the 5. A few months ago, I upgraded to the 6 Plus.
Here is my issue.
On my 5, my car radio (which has USB port) allowed me to plug in and listen to radio or music from my phone and the bonus was it charged the phone as well. All worked great.
Now with the 6 Plus, neither of things work. The message on the radio (Kenwood) says I Pod error. The message on my phone say's "this device is supported".
I have called on this before and was told you are aware and that the issue will be addressed in a future update. There have been several updates on IOS 8 and the issue remains.

I have a Kenwood KDC-X695. When I purchased this stereo and had it installed, I had an ATT iPhone 4.
It worked with the stereo, but had a few issues. I had purchased a few audio books that I would listen to while driving. When I plugged it in it would immediately begin to play the book from the beginning or if I had been listening to music, it would start playing the song that was at the top of the song list.
The stereo came equipped with Firmware version 3.05. I upgraded to the iPhone 5 a year later. I had that phone for approximately 2 years. The song or book issue remained the same.
I just recently upgraded to the iPhone 6 and the Bluetooth function still works, however the USB port on the stereo that the phone plugs into to allow files on the phone to play through the stereo no longer works.
I contacted the service provider (Verizon) and after speaking to several different technical support technicians, they provided me the phone numbers for Kenwood and Apple because they were unable to help me.
I spoke with Kenwood technical support the following day and after a few fumbling miscues from the technical advisor, it was suggested that I upgrade the firmware, even though the Kenwood literature warns against this if the Bluetooth portion is working, because if there is a problem with the upgrade, it can render the Bluetooth useless and non-functional. The advisor did suggest the latest firmware on the second or third attempt, after I pointed out what I was able to glean from my initial search.
Later that day, I went back to the Kenwood site (from their homepage) and by using their selection tools, discovered that this particular model was only ever intended to be used with the iPhone 4S (the technical advisor was not aware of this, even though I mentioned this during my phone call earlier in the day). According to the Firmware selection tool, my iPhone 5 should not have worked with it.
I performed the Firmware upgrade, and it took 13 minutes. This was less than the 15 minutes that was forecast in the Kenwood literature. The Bluetooth still works but the USB cable connection still causes the unsupported device message that I received prior to the upgrade. I am incredibly annoyed and disappointed.
By upgrading to the iPhone 6, I have three choices; (1) only use the Bluetooth for phone calls without the ability to play other files from my iPhone 6 (2) forced obsolescence of my stereo, requires buying a new stereo (3) return my iPhone 6 and go back to my iPhone 5.
I do not believe that I should have to be a software/Firmware/hardware engineer, vetting every single device that I own; prior to upgrading a cell phone.
I am incredibly annoyed with Apple at the moment.
I have a separate Bluetooth headset that worked with both my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 that the iPhone 6 simply does not recognize. That is another story for another time.
Currently, I am incredibly underwhelmed with Apple.

Closed Port at Firewll

Hi,
I have started configuring my EPORTAL system and in the process of connection Testing to my ECC Development server I get the below error in the ITS Connection Test Details.
An HTTP/S connection to http://sapeccdev.zentagroup.com:8000/sap/bc/gui/sap/its/webgui?sap-client=100 was not obtained successfully; this might be due to a closed port on the Firewall.
When I login at OS level in the EPORTAL SYSTEM and directly put the URL of ECC Development system it works fine in the WEB GUI. Also the web GUI works from any other PC in our organization by direct use of URL.
I would like to know when I test this from EPORTAL is this due to some closed port as this working by direct use of URL and what might be the possible cause of error.

Hi,
are you using a URL iview on your portal to connect to your system?
You said that you can connect to the destination application without problems when you are on the machine where your portal is installed.
This means that your portal should be able to connect as well (It cannot be any Firewall issue unless you have more than one network interface and the connection (TCP) maybe is using different interface and thus different Source IP or you normally use a Proxy to connect to your destination application and the portal is currently not)
You say you connect through Web GUI. Is there a proxy involved??
Try the following:
Login to your machine where the portal resised and on OS level issue the following command:
telnet sapeccdev.zentagroup.com 8000
Do you get a connection here?
Do you have more then one network interface on your machine??
Cheers

I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network. I would like to do this at the router level. Does anyone know the hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network so my 4 kids aren't using the Facetime feature- It was easy for Skype just had to enter the work Skype on my Router Security list- and it denies access. I would like to do this at the router level for FaceTime? Only site I find in init.ess.apple.com - is this the startup site for Facetime? Does anyone know a site I can block, hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open. Good luck!

Acrobat does not allow connection to

Need help with this error message please. Using Win7, saved a Word 2010 table of contents with multiple links to pdf files across internal servers as a PDF. Also created the word doc w/multiple pdf links as a PDF file using acrobat9 standard and have same problems. when a user with Adobe Reader 8+ clicks on a pdf link in the PDF table of contents file, they get an error message Acrobat does not allow connection to: and they cannot open the linked file. However, I am able to open the files using the same links with both reader and acrobat.
This worked previously until we upgraded to these versions of software... the error message shows a number of % signs and multiple ////. However, i can open the fiile but others cannot.
anyone have any ideas or is this a fix that i need to download?

not sure where my previous reply went; however, there are numerous machines at varuious sites that will be accessing this server/folder. I am not sure if it is a trusted sites issue as the file lists numerous PDF links and some of them open to the respective pdf file and others recieve the mssage. All the files reside on the same server within the same main folder and within subfolders. never had the problem before. the users can open some of the linked files and others the connection msg appears. I however, am able to open the same links they get the error on. I am totally baffled by this and have been troubleshooting for weeks now. I just had acrobat X installed to see if that would help but still problem. I also saved the word doc (2010) as pdf (which lists the links to the other pdfs) but users still have same problem. there are approx 75 links within this doc and I truly hope we don't have to relink everything..

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600

Hey @kirilsubacs ,
Welcome to the HP Forum!
I understand the HDMI port has stopped working on your Pavilion G6 notebook.
It would help to know exactly which notebook you are using and the installed operating system. For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
If this is a new issue I would start by doing a system restore. This will undo any changes to the operating system and uninstall any Windows updates, programs, or program updates installed after the restore date. This will not delete your personal files.
If that doesn't work try updating the drivers for your graphics card (GPU). You can find the drivers for your notebook here: HP - Drivers & Downloads.
Let me know if that helps or please provide the model and operating system of the notebook.
Please click the "Kudos, Thumbs Up" at the bottom of this post if you want to say "Thanks" for helping!
Please click "Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others find the solution.

Using hdmi mini port to connect to hdtv

using hdmi mini port to connect to hdtv. the displays mirror just fine but the audio doesnt. under the sound settings for output it only lists the internal speakers and should list the tv but doesn't, why?

If you connect the MacBook using a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter you will probably need to use external speakers or a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs connected to a stereo sound system if your TV doesn't have separate RCA input plugs or a 3.5mm stereo input plug for audio with the HDMI plug. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI doesn't carry audio unless you have the Mid 2010 model 7,1 and there're no audio plugs on most TVs to work with HDMI since it's expecting audio with the HDMI.
If you have the Late 2008 model 5,1 Aluminum Unibody or Late 2009 model 6,1 White Unibody with the Mini DisplayPort rather than the Mini-DVI there is an adapter that uses the Mini DisplayPort and a USB port to combine video and audio to HDMI. It's only 2 channel stereo not 5.1 Dolby Surround.

Is Verizon not allowing connections to alternate DNS servers anymore?

Last night I ran a DNS benchmark test, and a notice popped up saying my ISP was intercepting and redirecting all outgoing DNS requests. I've been using OpenDNS for a year now without any problems, then I found out last night I am not connecting to their servers, so I tried Googles servers, no luck there either.
I called tech support (several times) and no one could give me a straight answer to my question: Is Verizon not allowing connections to alternate DNS servers anymore? I was forced to switch back to Verizon servers, not happy about that.
Can someone please answer my question? Thanks.

I'm on FiOS and I've got no issues using OpenDNS. I have the Quantum router set to use it. Works fine.
I've manually changed DNS on my computer to google's servers. No problems with this, either.

After using the minidisplay port to connect to a projector, my computer screen displays images with less resolution than before. How do I get back the usual sharp resolution?

After using the minidisplay port to connect to a projector, my computer screen does not have the usual sharp resolution. How do I get back that sharp resolution? The computer screen images are now a bit blurry.

Do you mean after the projector is disconnected? It should change back to normal after disconnecting. If it does not, go to System Preferences > Displays and move the resolution setting back to the largest number.

I have a canon MX7600 multifunction printer. My security setting allow connection with the printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine. If the firewall is running I get a dialog box every time I print asking for permission. How do I fix this?

I have a canon MX 7600 multifunction printer. Each time I print I get a dialog box asking for permission to allow connections to the printer. This box stays on my screen for a few seconds, if I don't click allow I get a communication error which then requires me to delete the job and start over. I contacted Canon and proceeded with their suggestions to no avail. They now say it is an Apple issue. My security settings are set to allow connection to the canon printer. If I disable the firewall it works fine, once I enable the firewall the problem returns. This issue is a royal pain. Any suggestions on how to fix it short of buying a new printer?

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone.
