Port 161 shows open on hub?

Hi guys, I was double checking to see that my security software firewall is working correctly as Windows 8 has been having problems with Mcafee.
While doing so i found that Port 161 is showing open using the Shields up in depth port scan (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2.
After googling this i came across this article: http://punj-technology.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/bt-homehub-v-3-open-ports-161-and-4567.html
In that article it also gave the BT forum discussion regarding the open port at:http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/port-161-open-on-home-hub-3/td-p/133207/page/12
Is there any update on this? Is the Hub going to get an update?
I dont like seeing open ports on my system and it didnt show up when i was with Virgin Media as being open.
Happy Xmas, Jay.

  • HP LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw - No Embedded Web Server (Port 80 not even showing open)

    The embedded web server on our LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw is not responding and a port scan of the printer shows that port 80 is not open. We have power cycled the printer and that did not resolve the issue. 
    Is there a way to check the status of the embedded web  server through the control panel on the printer? 
    Are there any other steps we can take to restore the embedded web server? 
    Thanks in advance. 

    Hello csandrews68,
    I see you have an LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw that the Embedded Web Server will not load, port 80 shows as closed.
    I suggest restoring the network defaults on the printer:
    From the home screen on the printer push Setup (wrench and gear icon)
    Go to and select Network Setup
    Push Restore Defaults
    With defaults restored, connect the printer back to the network and try to load the EWS.
    Let me know if that helped.
    Thanks,

  • Port 161

    I have done a security check on the Shields Up! Web site and it shows port 161 as not being stealthed. Does anyone know what that port does and what, if anything, I ought to do about this? I am running Avast 5 Internet Security, which includes a firewall. Does the HH3 include a firewall as well?

    Hi Brian_E,
    The following post may clear this up for you - it's contained in a pretty lengthy thread which already exists on the topic

  • Port 1024 permanently open

    Morning all
    I'm using a HH2 which was recently upgraded to the 'new and improved' software.
    Shields up recently showed port 1024 open. I don't know when it changed from the usual stealthed state.
    It appears that this port is opened when the HH is powered up. If I down power the hub, port 1024 goes into stealth mode.
    Why does the Vision box leave this port permanently open?
    Is there anything I can do to keep it stealthed, other than turning off the Vision box?
    Can't find any references to this problem with HH2.
    Cheers
    Dave

    Thanks for the reply DS.
    I read through that thread, but didn't find any firm conclusions.
    You said ...
    The port 1024 has been known to lead to a number of malware infections on Windows systems. Since ports are used to exchange information between a computer and the Internet, they are also a pathway for intruders to gain access to your computer or for malware to use your computer for unauthorized activity on the Internet. Applications or services monitor ( "listen" to) the port that they are assigned. If this listening action is done without taking security steps, the port will be open to incoming signals and may be vulnerable to intruders.
    Crackers are constantly using scanning software to probe many thousands of IPs, looking for a computer with open ports. Today no unprotected computer is safe on the Internet. Even if you have a firewall installed, it is wise to have your ports scanned to see if they appear invisible to the outside world.
    This worries me, particularly since Spybot has started to pick up the odd bits of malware which hasn't happened for years.
    Keith Beddoe said ...
    If you have uPNp enabled on your home hub (bad idea), then it will open port 1024 incoming as well. Simply disable uPNp if it worries you, the BT Vision box will still work, as the firewall will still allow incoming connections as replies to the outgoing requests on port 1024.
    If you block outgoing port 1024 on the home hub firewall, then the BT Vision box stops working.
    Does anyone know if this can be done on a HH2 ? I've looked round the interface and can't spot an option.
    Cheers

    Darren_Dunham,
    Even if something's binding to port 6112 in a ngz, why should that matter to the global zone? After all, those are different IPs, and binding means, that something binds to an IP+Port combination (or NIC+Port).So they are. But Zones have a different concept of "ADDR_ANY" than the global zone does, and this difference is not readily apparent in 'pfiles' output.
    So a ngz can run an application that binds to ADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0), but it's really bound only to the IP addresses visible inside the zone.
    The thing is that from the global zone, 'ps' will see all the processes (including those in ngzs), and 'pfiles' will show that both processes are bound to the same port (and not via a specific IP address).
    This document below is really focusing more on exclusive IP zones, but if you look at page 7 and page 8, it shows two normal processes joining a standard TCP stack and two processes in separate shared-IP zones using their own TCP stacks (with the crucial difference that the app can bind to 0.0.0.0 and get different IPs)

  • Can only port forward port 80, other ports does not open.

    I am trying to open three ports on my AE (7.6.1), but the only port that actually opens (if set) is port 80.
    - The Airport Extreme is the router and no additional router is in place
    - I have given the three cameras (that I want to access from Internet) static IP
    - I have trired to open three ports for those (45101, 45102, 45103)
    None of above ports open, but if I change one port to 80, that port opens and one camera can work. This is really strange and any suggestions or help is much appreciated!

    As you don't want to use the modem as router I would recommend to reconfigure your modem into "bridge" mode. In bridge mode it works like a simple modem. You then have to configure your WRT for your internet connection (usually PPPoE for DSL or DHCP for cable). With this setup, you don't have these chained routers and the WRT has a direct connection into the internet (i.e. the WRT shows your public IP address on the Status page).
    Some chained router setups shows problems with drop outs, connection loss and similar. I recommend to use only one router in home setups.
    On a sidenote: port forwarding is not related to firewall functions. The reason why you need port forwarding is because a router does "NAT" (Network Address Translation). You use private IP addresses inside your LAN (e.g. 192.168.1.*). Private IP addresses are not routed into the internet. Any internet router will immediately drop packets with a private IP addresses. Thus, your router does NAT to map your private IP address to your single public IP address. It's in the nature of this mapping that unsolicited incoming traffic from the internet is dropped unless you configure port forwarding. That's simply because the router would not know where to sent a packet on a port 1234 received on its public IP address unless you tell it. Thus disabling the firewall on a router won't change a thing.

  • Ports won't open after forwarding

    I'm trying to set up my AEBS so I can access my network remotely. However, even after forwarding the ports, none of them are showing as open. So far, I've
    Mapped the ports (3389 for Windows RDP, 21 for FTP)
    Reverted my Firmware from 7.6.3 to 7.6.1
    Allowed incoming IPv6 connections
    Set IPv6 to Tunnel
    Enabled NAT port mapping
    I have an Airport Express set to extend the current wireless network, though I can't see how that would impact it. Not even Port 80 will open. I've also got both my MacBook and my PC's firewalls configured to allow the traffic, though since the ports aren't open I can't imagine the problem being associated with that.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Would like to bump this thread - intalled a foscam wireless PTZ camera on my network with no issue - static ip obviously. I made all the changes to my airport extreme (tried the new airport extreme AC and my older N model) and it won't work on either. Various webtools show that the port i'm trying to open (80) is still closed.
    Airport extreme is on 7.6.4

  • Can't get SMTP to accetp outside email (port 25 not open)

    Hi,
    I've got the xServer 10.4 (latest) and it appears to be working fine in all other regards.
    I have the mail service on (POP and IMAP both work fine) - I can send myself email using the UNIX command line mail (and get it through POP).
    But I cannot send email either from my client through the xserver or from another account to the xServer - I'll get the message 'cannot send email for 8 hours...'
    A quick port scan shows port 25 is not open (not can I telnet to it). But server admin shows it's running and appears to be happy (it's not over worked anyway).
    Any tips would be greatly aprciated.

    May help if you can answer these questions.
    1) Did you set this up with the server admin tools or
    have you edited any of the config files?
    100% admin tools - this is even a new install. I'm not shy about editing config files but I figured Server Admin was easier and I can't see anything obviously wrong (not that I know that much about it)
    2) Did you telent to port 25 using the IP address?
    yes, no connection
    3) Did you telent to port 25 using the Server Name?
    yes, no connection
    using port scan of the network utilities shows other ports open, just not 25. Output:
    Port Scanning host: 192.168.0.2
    Open TCP Port: 22 ssh
    Open TCP Port: 53 domain
    Open TCP Port: 80 http
    Open TCP Port: 110 pop3
    Open TCP Port: 143 imap
    and so on.
    4) What domain do you think you are trying to host
    mail?
    Well several (I have the viirtural domains turned on) but declan.com will be the main one, right now it's also home.declan.com and donaldgevans.com.
    From the information you posted (unless you edited
    it) it is not clear how your networks are configured
    or what the server is being asked to host. Answers
    to the above will help clarify these points as even
    if you fix this problem, you may have others.
    OK - this is a fixed IP on the internet, going through a firewall (host mapping, everything passed through to this server which is 192.168.0.2). But I think this is less the issue - I can ssh, http, POP, IMAP to this server from either inside or outside the network. I cannot telnet to port 25 by IP or domain name either inside or outside so I assume it's not the network; it's because port 25 is not open.

  • How to show Open Sales Orders only in a report?

    Hi,
    I am working on a Business Objects report to show open sales orders. Here i pull data from a RapidMart universe for which data comes from SAP.
    I just wanted to know which object or field in SAP can/will differentiate whether a particular sales order is delivered or not.
    Is MRP anyway related to this?
    Plz. help!
    Many Thanks,
    Arun KK

    Gattu,
    Thanks for your reply.
    However, the problem goes like this.
    I am working on an existing BO report. This report works perfectly(shows only the open sales orders) except for some leakage(some delivered items too get it).
    The existing report's query have filters only one MRP Element and Order Category.
    Could there be anything that can be done with these objects?
    Thanks,

  • Even after billing the delivery show in VF04 & delivery shows open qty.

    Hi
    I have a issue. The billing document is created from outbound delivery,still the delivery is showing in the VF04 billing due list. The delivery shows open qty. In the order the same qty is shown delivered.
    please advise.
    The timely reply would be rewarded with full points.

    Hi James,
    I think you are creating the sales order with reference to a quotation.Go to copy controls and select OR and QT  and uncheck the complete reference indicator in the details screen.
    I think this give the delivery status "Completed" after creating the billing document.

  • PR showing open quantity, still PO is done completely for the PR.

    Dear All,
    PR is showing open quantiy in "Quantities/Dates" tab even though PO is done for full quantity of the PR. Due to this, PR is showing commitment items. Please guide for a proper solution to close the commitment items in the PR.
    Regards

    hi,
    Check few of the below things:
    1. Check whether the PR is properly reference in the PO or not...Check it at PO item details..
    2. Check Qty at PO and PR is same or not..
    3. You can use the del. compl. indicator as given above(if referenced properly)..
    4. check whether PR has been fully released or not...
    If not then release it first and then try to make PO for it..
    5. check any version management is active or not...if active, then give reason of change and then release and save and then try to make PO and then check referencing is proper or not...

  • How do I port forward or open a port on the Airport time capsule to hook p a security system?

    I have an airport time capsule and a security system.  The installer doesn't know anything about using routers etc, especially on a mac.  They say I have to port forward or open a port specifically of this device.  I have very few skills when doing this IT type.  Is this hard to do?  Can I do it myself?  He wants to get an IT guy out?  $55 an hour, how long would it take?  Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!

    The method is here.
    AirPort - Port Mapping Basics using AirPort Utility v6.x
    If you need to get someone in, it depends.. The TC can be recalcitrant.. due to your setup of it following the apple guides.. and it depends on the security system and how simple that is.
    There are multiple issues.. for example how do you find your IP address from the web when you have dynamic IP from your ISP.
    Do you intend to setup dynamic DNS? Can the camera /dvr system handle Dynamic DNS?
    I recommend you read very carefully the instructions for what has been installed.. because merely opening the port is only a small part of the issues involved in remote access to the security system.
