Internet security question
« on: January 13, 2006, 05:54:16 PM »
 I have an Amiga 1200. I go online using miami and a 56k modem without a firewall etc.
Lets say that using the "MiamiNetStat -a" command i find out that i have an unwanted open port. How do i close this port? I know that i can log-out, enter the miami preferences and block out the IP, but how can i do it on-the-fly?
 Also, how can i tell that someone is scanning my ports?

 Disable the service(s) from the Network Database, Services page.
This can be done without the need to log-out and redial? and what if i need these services? I assume that there is no simple way to just close that port?

 Ok, thanks.
It's disable the service, click "Ok" and select "save" or "save as default" from the 2nd menu. :-)
