Interesting! Haven't tried that method yet. I'll give that a try and
see what happens there.

So what your telling me is that all the ports tested out OK and that
the TELNET is visible from the internet but won't connect? Then it IS
on this side.

Thanks for the update.

Not exactly "visible". Well it is as it eats the probes.

If the telnet server wouldn't work you'd get a "closed" if the port
wasn't filtered.

That's possible too that (running Windows) the Windows firewall doesn't
allow the traffic. Here ramswell also had to allow port 23.

I came across a D-Link WLAN router which was also stubborn. No matter
what I told it it always blocked all incoming traffic. A firmware update
helped then.

It would also help to connect the machine in question directly to the DSL
or Cable modem and allow the Windows firewall traffic inbound to port 23.

So is your suggestion to turn off th firewall COMPLETELY on my
daughters computer? that, I won't do as she goes onto a lot of
Japanese and German sites that will do a browser hijack if that
happened.

What sort of Japanese and German sites is she visiting that you know will do
browser hijacks?
